What is BOPP?
AmTopp BOPP Film
BOPP stands for Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene. It is a thin film
made by polypropylene resin being melted and extruded through a flat
die and cast onto a chill roll. The sheet is then stretched in the
machine direction and then the traverse direction. Orienting the
film in both directions gives several desirable properties,
including: water vapor barrier, stiffness, dimensional stability,
low haze, and improved yield. The film is then usually flame or
corona treated in-line to allow for ease of printing, metallizing,
or laminating to other substrates. Typical gauges supplied are from
0.6 mil – 3.2 mil.
AmTopp BOPP films are primarily used for food packaging, labels,
tape, and stationery applications. Uncoated/unprinted polypropylene
film does not contain any environmentally hazardous substances. All
AmTopp BOPP films are currently FDA approved for food contact and
also meet all CONEG regulations for heavy metals.
What is Stretch Wrap?
