Abstract:
Plastic, today, is being increasingly utilized in almost every industry and
activity. Its use has become indispensable due mainly to certain inherent
properties like light weight, corrosion of chemical resistance etc. Plastic in many
areas is not only a strong substitute but superior as well. To cite an example
packaging industry now depends on plastic for packaging of milk, edible oils,
snacks etc. and coextruded
films are predominantly used in this direction.
Presently milk and ghee pouches in India consume a major portion of such films
produced, which is an indication of high popularity grained by this plastic
material.
