BOPET Films are made of PET polymer, a linear, thermoplastic polyester resin. They are clear, flexible, transparent, or translucent. PET film is a high-performance plastic film that is more expensive than other plastic films because it has certain unique qualities that are required for specific end-uses.
BoPET (biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate) is a polyester film manufactured from stretched PET that is utilized for its high tensile strength, chemical and dimensional stability, transparency, reflectivity, gas and fragrance barrier qualities, and electrical insulation.
Under various brand names, a multitude of firms make boPET and other polyester films.The production process begins with a molten polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film being extruded onto a chill roll, which cools it to an amorphous form.By drawing, it is then biaxially oriented.
Another key effect of molecular orientation is the creation of many crystal nuclei. Rapidly growing crystallites approach the border of a neighboring crystallite while remaining smaller than the wavelength of visible light. As a result, despite its semi crystalline structure, biaxially oriented PET film offers remarkable clarity.
If it were made without any additives, the surface of the film would be so smooth that layers would attach tightly to one another when wound up, similar to how clean glass plates stay together when stacked. To facilitate handling, small inert inorganic particles such as silicon dioxide are often placed in the PET to roughen the film's surface.
Biaxially oriented PET film can be metallized via vapor deposition of a small layer of evaporated aluminum, gold, or other metal on it. As a result, it is substantially less permeable to gasses (essential in food packaging) and reflects up most of the infrared spectrum.
For some applications, such as food packaging, the aluminized boPET film can be laminated with a layer of polyethylene, which increases puncture resistance and sealability.
The polyethylene side of a laminate seems drab, whereas the boPET side appears lustrous.Sputter deposition may be used to apply other coatings on boPET films, such as conductive indium tin oxide (ITO).
TheGlobal BOPET Films Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Flex Films, the worldwide film production arm of UFlex, is ready to unveil its new avant-garde patented BOPET high barrier film F-UHB-M, which is meant to replace aluminum foil in flexible packaging applications.
F-UHB-M, which will be manufactured in Flex FilmsKentucky plant and distributed globally, addresses the challenges of the Converting Industry, which has long relied on aluminum foil for packaging despite several limitations such as material availability, high material cost, weak integrity, proclivity for in-use pinhole formation, and difficulty in recycling.
Flex Film Novel film has a thickness and coating technology that is compatible with a wide range of inks and adhesives, has better machinability and handling during processing, generates less scrap during production, has good flex crack resistance, increased puncture resistance vs BOPET grades, an advanced in-line inspection mechanism in place to ensure consistency in barrier properties, and far less pinhole diffraction.
All of this gives the new BOPET film a great competitive advantage and qualifies it for a wide range of flexible packaging applications, particularly those dominated by laminates made of aluminum foil, putting it among the best in the packaging film business.
Aside from exceptional barrier performance and bond strength, F-UHB-M provides other advantages to consumers, including cost efficiency, a better sustainability quotient, and efficient usage in logistics and e-commerce.
One of the most difficult difficulties that the packaging film business confronts today is decreasing food waste while also lowering packaging material usage through laminate rationalization.
F-UHBM enables the converting sector to go forward without sacrificing barrier performance, allowing customers to achieve lower laminate weight, lower costs, and a lower carbon footprint.
