HDPE-LLDPE Synthetic Paper

Abstract

Synthetic papers are ones, which couple the characteristics of plastics and paper. Generally speaking, synthetic paper is obtained by processing synthetic polymers, as the prime material, into paper like substrate intended for end uses. Typical synthetic paper is the one, which has many of the visual and tactile properties of paper, particularly those papers used for writing or printing applications or those used for bags and wrappings. Synthetic papers are such substrates which retain the plastic characteristics such as non-tearability, water, weather, stain and termite resistance, excellent folding endurance, good barrier to water vapour and gases, good printability and in certain cases, heat sealability also. Additionally, these synthetic papers provide the benefits of normal paper, viz. writability, printability, appearance, feel, whiteness, opacity etc.
