Since April 1, 2010, Epurex Films, a subsidiary of Bayer MaterialScience, has been marketing film products formerly sold as Walopur, Platilon and Walotex under the common trade name Platilon. This move should enable Epurex Films to work more effectively with its customers, to further increase awareness of this trade mark and to strengthen its position on the international markets. Examples of demanding applications include breathable but watertight membranes for outdoor clothing, special plasters that create a healthy wound climate and encourage rapid healing, and intermediate layers for bulletproof glass.
