The term ‘biaxially oriented’ means that the film is stretched in two diverse directions. This alignment brings about several changes in the film, such as lower elongation (harder to stretch), higher tensile strength for a given thickness, greater stiffness, improved optical properties, and improved barrier to water/gases. When barrier and sealing properties are required, they can be obtained by using either of the two methods, namely coating the film or co-extruding layers of different materials.
Biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film is a polypropylene film, which is extensively used for packaging. Biaxial orientation is a process that includes heating of a cast film to bring it to a stretchable temperature. These films are stretched in a machine in the diagonal direction, which is carried out through two methods such as tenter method and bubble method. Biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films can resist UV light, and it also possesses ingrained properties such as smooth surface, good clarity, and excellent chemical and abrasion resistance.
BOPP materials are used across various packaging industries. They are utilized in the packaging of dairy products, bakery products, snack food, beverages, and horticulture products. The demand for BOPP films in food packaging is increasing due to the shifting consumer preference towards the intake of specialty & processed food, advancement in food packaging materials, and varied marketing strategies adopted by packaging companies. Plastic films & sheets are used for packaging of commodity items in the medical equipment industry. It acts as a barrier to protect drugs against external factors that can degrade and induce toxic effects.
