High Demand for Plastic Slip Sheets Drives Europe Slip and Tier Sheets Market

Plastic slip sheets are made from high density polyethylene and polypropylene. These plastic slip sheets can be manufactured from 100% recyclable, high density polyethylene. Plastic slip sheets are highly suitable for humid or freezing conditions as they are resistant to water and moisture. These sheets are also suitable for overseas exports. A few players operating in the slip and tier sheet market are offering plastic slip sheets with an anti-slip coating. The surface of such plastic slip sheets is rough, which increases the friction between the load and the slip sheet; hence, these sheets have better stability. Thus, the high demand for plastic slip sheets is predicted to offer more lucrative opportunities for the growth of the slip and tier sheet market in the coming years.
