Products/Polypropylene Films
Polypropylene (PP) films derive from petroleum using cost-effective and high yield polyolefin resins and have properties similar to those of polyethylene, but are stronger, more rigid and have a higher temperature resistance. The films are non toxic, light, strong and odorless, with good moisture barrier properties. Efficient to produce, PP films require less energy and fewer raw materials compared to most other filmic substrates. As with PE, films are manufactured either by the blown bubble process or the cast extrusion process.
Depending on the process, PP films may be orientated (or stretched) in either one direction (OPP) as mono-axial film, or biaxially-orientated (BOPP) in both the machine and cross direction. This improves the film’s optical properties, while providing good stiffness and high tensile strength in the machine direction.
The market has seen a dramatic increase in the manufacturing and off-line coating of PP films for pressure sensitives, reel-fed or cut sleeve wraps and in-mold labels as well as filmic release liners.
