Description

Water soluble films are widely used for unit dose packaging of detergents, agrochemicals, food ingredients, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment chemicals. These films dissolve in the water within minutes, and leaves no toxic residue in the nature after its dissolution in water. These films are manufactured from polyvinyl resins and are synonymously called PVA/PVOH films. Water soluble films are ideal for a variety of packaging applications.

Market Dynamics:

Rise in use of water soluble films or increase in applications of water soluble films, increase in use of single and unit dose packaging in various end-use industries, focus of governments on green procurement policies, and increasing applications in the powdered chemical packaging sector are major factors expected to aid in the growth of the global water soluble films market.

For instance, in August 2022, TIPA and Aquapak teamed up to develop new compostable film solutions. TIPA will incorporate Aquapak’s water-soluble polymer technology with the aim of delivering high-barrier and PVDC-free compostable films for packaging. Moreover, in October 2020, Cortec Corporation announced that its patented EcoSol water soluble pouches are now being manufactured at the company's European bioplastics plant in Croatia to deliver and meet the needs of European and Asian customers.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
