Scrim Reinforced Films Market

Global Scrim Reinforced Films Market: Market Outlook

Scrim reinforced polyethylene films are versatile, lightweight, and high strength laminate which is used as a base substrate for the production of excellent quality adhesive tapes. They are mainly composed of three layers: poly film, scrim & poly film. Owing to their high tear resistance and UV resistant properties, they are used in rain shed covers, stockpile covers, soil remediation, agricultural covers, etc. Considering their physical properties, versatility, lightweight, high strength, and exceptional high tear and puncture resistance are anticipated to boost the scrim-reinforced films market.

Also, the virgin resin in the scrim-reinforced films makes the film more durable which then can also be used in food-grade packaging and aquaculture applications.

What are the Key Trends Impacting Growth of the Scrim Reinforced Films Market?

The scrim-reinforced films are not only limited to the packaging (wet adhesive tape for sealing cardboard boxes, etc.) but also to other applications like the metal industry, wood processing industry, handicraft, jewellery craft, food technology, construction industry, and others. Excellent durability and exceptional high tear and puncture strength are driving the scrim-reinforced films market thereby creating new opportunities and applications.

How are Scrim Reinforced Films Creating New Opportunities in New Segments?

Scrim reinforced films are not only limited to protection purposes but also to give strength to the products in the clothing industry. Recently, Finess Hygiene AB added reinforced scrim towels to their new products in their product assortment. Scrim Towel is applicable for the person in operation theatres and healthcare, where strength, durability, and absorption are highly required. The reinforced polyester net gives strength to the product.

How is the Demand for Adhesives in Automobile Industry Uplifting the Scrim Reinforced Films Market?

Scrim reinforced films are mainly applied over the scrim reinforced transfer tape which is designed for difficult bonding applications. The demand for the scrim reinforced transfer tape is not only limited to cardboard packaging, food applications, construction, agriculture, etc. but also in the automobile industry which uses it for a variety of attachment and bonding solutions.

3M produces a variety of attachment and bonding solutions that improve safety, functionality, and comfort to the vehicles with the help of scrim-reinforced tapes to solve a variety of automotive manufacturing challenges. Majorly, scrim-reinforced tapes are used for noise reduction in vehicles.

What are the Key Challenges that may Restrain Growth of the Scrim Reinforced Films Market?

The scrim-reinforced film manufacturing machinery is expensive to set up, which can affect the market for developing countries and the new entrants/players in the market. Also, the manufacturing of the scrim-reinforced films during the rainy season or humid environment is very challenging, as it requires control of the moisture levels during the complete manufacturing process, or if not done, can affect the adhesiveness of the tape.
