Who makes Bopp?

The Treofan Group
The Treofan Group is a leading global manufacturer of biaxially oriented polypropylene films (BOPP films) for packaging, label, tobacco and technical applications.

How do you manufacture BOPP film?

BOPP film is produced by a tubular process, in which a tubular bubble is inflated, or a tenter frame process, in which a thick extruded sheet is heated to its softening point (not to the melting point) and is mechanically stretched by 300–400%.

What is the raw material for BOPP film?

The main raw material, in the central layer, is the isotactic Polypropylene, a semi-crystalline and thermoplastic material. Whereas, for the outer layers, ethylene-propylene and/or ethylene-butane-propylene copolymers are used.

How many types of BOPP are there?

There are over 1,000 variants of BOPP films.

Is Bopp the same as polypropylene?

PP stands to stand for Polypropylene. OPP stands out for Oriented Polypropylene and BOPP stands up for Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene.

Is PP the same as Bopp?

OPP stands for Oriented Polypropylene, BOPP stands for Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene and PP stands for Polypropylene. All three differ in their style of fabrication. Polypropylene also known as polypropene is a thermoplastic semi-crystalline polymer.

Can BOPP film be recycled?

BOPP plastic is environmentally friendly even though it is not biodegradable. It is able to be reused and recycled. It can actually be recycled many times over while still maintaining its value.

Can Bopp be recycled?

What is the difference between CPP and BOPP film?

CPP is a soft film like polyethylene, whereas BOPP is a bit stiff and crinkly. CPP does not dead-fold well due to its natural living hinge, whereas BOPP has better dead-fold characteristics.

What is difference between OPP and BOPP film?

Transparent adhesive tapes are made using the same formula. They are hard to tear and OPP bags are used in packing of leather and clothes among others. BOPP bags are crystal clear polyethylene bags. The biaxial orientation gives them transparent look and makes them suitable for branding by printing on the surface.

What does Bopp stand for?

Biaxially-Oriented (BO) Polypropylene
BOPP is a popular label material made of plastic. It stands for Biaxially-Oriented (BO) Polypropylene (PP). Biaxially-oriented refers to the production process that stretches the film over two directions, making it stronger and more transparent.
