The remarkable properties of MDPE films include stress cracking resistance and scratch proof nature. MDPE films include many types of coating such as adhesive, silicone, print treatment for labels and printing which make the product more attractive. MDPE films has better ability to withstand unwanted atmospheric condition such as moisture, sunlight, rain which keeps products fresh and safe. Soft and pliable nature of MDPE films are some other features which contributes in the growth of MDPE films market.
However, MDPE films has moderate clarity. Therefore there exist a need for polyethylene composition that will match the transparency and gloss feature offered by low density polyethylene (LDPE) films and the stiffness of MDPE films; while maintaining the same impact, tear, down gauging and processing properties as MDPE films. MDPE films are extensively used for wrapping around products like machinery, house-hold products, etc.
MDPE films is preferred over linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) films market due to its scratch proof properties which also enhance the growth of MDPE films market. MDPE films are key applications for protective packaging. Furthermore, MDPE films are usually preferred over other packaging film especially LDPE film for a number of packaging applications such as over-wrap films, stand-up pouches, milk pouches and lamination films requiring stiffness in addition to ease of processing.

Demand for packaged products has been on the upswing on account of consumers getting attracted to features such as single handed use, portability and easy opening of the product. MDPE films are much stiffer to touch than LDPE film. MDPE films can be used for same applications as LDPE film but provide additional shock and drop resistance.
