|  | Listed below are some of our films that have been used in typical packaging applications in different markets. Every application is different and the use of any packaging product should be rigorously tested before being used commercially. (See guidelines.)
The market
The biscuit market is the second largest market segment in Western Europe to use oriented polypropylene film. Although overall market growth is slow, indicating maturity across most sectors, there remain significant growth prospects within niche markets, such as those for individually wrapped biscuits.
The market's enormous variety of products means it still looks for innovation and creativity. Increasing product sophistication to meet new market opportunities (new shapes, tastes, ingredients) is creating new demands for product protection. ExxonMobil has an in-depth understanding of the key factors influencing biscuit quality and shelf life. Our objective is to continue developing new materials that offer better protection, performance and the promotional opportunities these products demand.
Product characteristics

Main factors of degradation
Humidity uptake: humidity is the most important factor determining the product's organoleptic properties and consumer acceptability. Humidity uptake can:
- result in loss of crispiness
- help degradation through oxidation, hydrolysis.
Complex products (with chocolate, cream, sugar, etc.) are more sensitive and need special protection, particularly against oxidation, odour loss and uptake of off-odours.

Technical data and guidelines presented on this web site are based on tests, experience and information that ExxonMobil Chemical Films believes to be reliable and helpful. The films are presented for consideration but are not intended as a recommendation for use in any particular application. It is impossible to anticipate every application for which the products may be proposed and widely varying user's processing conditions may have significant impact on performance properties. For those reasons it is important that users undertake independent testing in order to verify the suitability of any product for any particular application. Users are also encouraged to discuss potential applications with representatives of ExxonMobil Chemical Films who can consider the specific conditions that may be encountered.
