Additives

A substance added to something in small quantities to improve or preserve it.
Polymer additives enhance the optical properties of BOPP films. As a result, a better BOPP film transparency is obtained and haze is decreased. The addition of modifiers can also improve the gloss characteristics of BOPP films.


There are many types of additive available as per application and other prospective.
Some category of additives given below.

  • *Anti-Blocks
  • *Slips
  • *Slip – Antiblock
  • *Anti-Static
  • *Slip – Antistatic
  • *Stiffener/Polymer Modifiers
  • *Matt Compounds
  • *Anti-Oxidants
  • *UV Stabilizers
  • *Processing Aids
  • *Optical Brighteners
  • *Anti-fog
  • *Organic Cavitating


Biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film is film stretched in both machine and transverse directions, producing molecular chain orientation in two directions. Biaxial orientation results in increased toughness, increased stiffness, enhanced clarity, improved oil and grease resistance, and enhanced barrier properties to water vapor and oxygen. Impact resistance, low-temperature impact resistance, and flexcrack resistance are substantially modified.

 

Due to its advantages this film has become one of the most popular and highly demanded films across the globe.

 

BOPP films have a unique combination of properties such as high clarity, stiffness, fast heat-sealability, and barrier protection. BOPP films are also an ideal substrate for printing, lamination, and other converting processes.
