BOPP film is a very important flexible packaging material. After corona treatment, BOPP film has good printing adaptability, and can be printed with color to obtain exquisite appearance. Therefore, the surface layer material of composite film is often used. BOPP film is suitable for All kinds of packaging, printing, compounding, and aluminum plating.
The commonly used adhesive packing tapes that are used in sealing medium to heavy-duty carton sealing, shipping, inventory management and in logistics industries are actually BOPP tapes.
What is BOPP?
BOPP is abbreviated as Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene. The use of Polypropylene in manufacturing adhesive tapes is because of its amazing features and properties. It being a thermoplastic polymer which is malleable at certain specific temperatures and returns to the solid form when cooled.
Polypropylene film can be stretched in both the directions thus mentioned as biaxial oriented. This stretching of the film increases the strength and clarity/transparency of the film. High tensile strength and rugged nature making it ideal to use for packaging and labeling.
Polypropylene has several other properties like resistant to abrasion, chemically reacting agents, burst and moisture. The surface of the film is easy to print and coat, which makes it useful for custom printed BOPP packing tapes. The tape can be easily slitting when required.
The merits of BOPP tapes you should know
BOPP tapes being thermoplastic polymer works in both the extreme temperatures that mean at low as well as high-temperature ranges. The adhesives used commonly are hot melt synthetic rubber as it seals quickly, reliable and consistent. These adhesives bonds quickly to the surface with additional properties like UV, shear and heat resistant. The outstanding features which compliment the tapes are:
- Excellent clarity and high gloss.
- Flawless dimensional stability and flatness.
- Wrinkle and shrink proof.
- Non-toxic and recyclable.
- Resistant to low and high ranges of temperature.
- UV, heat and moisture resistant.
What is BOPP film used for?
BOPP films are used in food packaging and are replacing cellophane in applications such as snack and tobacco packaging due to favorable properties and low cost.
