Application environments
Where material performance gets tested.
Different operating environments create different combinations of mechanical, chemical, thermal and production demands.
01
Flexible packaging
Films, sheet, multilayer structures and converting.
02
Rigid packaging
Containers, closures, trays and thermoformed parts.
03
Recycled-content programs
PCR incorporation, consistency and qualification.
Performance priorities
What drives the material decision.
Application requirements, service environment and production process define the balance of properties.

Material Substitution: What Has to Match?
A replacement material does not need to duplicate every datasheet value. It needs to satisfy the requirements controlling part function, processing and approval.
