Film Substrates

Poised for Future Success
For more than 60 years, The Dow Chemical Company (Dow) has led the way in films technology, manufacture and sales. In fact, Dow was one of the first companies to offer a plastic film product with the introduction of SARAN™ films in the early 1940s.

Today, Dow offers customers a diverse and extensive range of innovative film substrate products, including monolayer and multilayer films made from polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, adhesive copolymers, and SARAN™ polyvinylidene chloride copolymers.

Approximately 10 product families offer options in stiffness, toughness, barrier, adhesion, heat seal, optics, color, printability, surface texture, chemical/heat/moisture resistance, machinability, thickness and more and for one key reason: customer satisfaction.

These choices offer customers an opportunity to meet demands across applications that range from packaging materials such as overwrap films to telecommunications parts such as fiber optic cables, and from medical applications such as transdermal drug delivery systems to stationery products such as window envelopes, labels, cover sheets and greeting card overlays. Any medical application requires a Dow business assessment prior to the sale or sampling of Dow products. Please refer to the link provided for Dow’s Medical Application Policy.
