Biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP film) is a film stretched mechanically and manually using transverse technology. Due to its merits, the film has become one of the most popular and in demand worldwide.
These are BOPP based films. Its unique properties are:
ㆍThe density of these films is close to 0.90 g/m, so it provides high yield at the same cost compared to other films. Polyester film
ㆍBOPP film has excellent gloss and high transparency, giving it excellent appearance and fine surface treatment.
ㆍOther polyester films are not resistant to external pollution, while BOPP film has a good moisture barrier effect and tends to resist pollution and harmful chemicals.
ㆍThe film has a wide spectrum and is easily available, ie. Matte, glossy, silky, etc.
ㆍExcellent clarity
BOPP heat sealing film
ㆍBest dimensional stability and flatness
ㆍLow electrostatic charge
ㆍExcellent barrier effect on water vapor
ㆍBOPP film exhibits good and best performance in high-speed printing
ㆍIn addition to being resistant to harmful chemicals and pollution, these films are also resistant to oil and grease
ㆍExcellent puncture and flex crack resistance in a wide temperature range
ㆍ BOPP film is not affected by moisture and does not wrinkle or shrink due to environmental changes
ㆍRecyclable
BOPP film has many advantages as follows:
ㆍThey are environmentally friendly
ㆍLight weight
ㆍEasily accepted all over the world
ㆍReduce product damage caused by transportation, weather, etc.
Largely
ㆍTendency to keep the product dry
ㆍNo layering required
ㆍGood transparency and UV resistance
BOPP drawing film
BOPP film has a wide range of applications
ㆍF1 grade film is used for packaging of food and its sealing materials
ㆍStandard BOPP film for electrical application, printing and lamination
ㆍTextbook cover
ㆍOther applications include extrusion coating, flower packaging, reverse printing and lamination
ㆍCan also be used as adhesive tape and pressure sensitive tape
ㆍWhite and opaque colored film for general use, such as printing bags, cable outer packaging, cough medicine stick packaging, heat seal BOPP film for general use and outer packaging.
However, BOPP lamination films have certain disadvantages viz.
ㆍBOPP has poor airtightness
ㆍBOPP films have a high range of crystalline properties because the surface of these films is non-polar.
ㆍThe printability of this film is poor, and the correlation with ink is poor due to low surface energy.
