The plastic film coating market mainly consists of coatings for polypropylene, polyester or other polyolefins for use in wrapping of food, tobacco, confectionery, and for tape production.
As a coating, colloidal silica is widely used in latex emulsions for these films to impart barrier effects and friction to the surface as well as improving printability. When integrated into the polymer, colloidal silica can yield the benefits it can yield as a coating, but also it can improve the improve the binding of the plastic.
