Film Products

Tredegar is a major supplier of the backsheet film used as the outer layer of infant and adult diapers. Expansion into Latin America, Europe and the Far East is the primary source of growth in this business.


Tredegar's ability to modify plastic film surfaces is a critical competitive advantage. For example, our permeable films have tiny funnels that direct fluid away from the skin and keep it from flowing back. This feature is a key to the growth of Procter & Gamble's worldwide line of feminine hygiene products.

Tredegar also produces permeable and other specialty films for a variety of applications, such as food packaging, surgical masks, mulch films and protective covering.
