Homo Polymers

A homopolymer is a polymer where every monomer unit (mer) of the chain is the same.

A homopolymer is defined as a polymer that has the same monomer unit in the chain. Examples of homopolymer are PVC with vinyl chloride units, polypropylene with propylene units, Polymethyl-methacrylate.



Now we will understand homoplymers in language of BOPP Films manufacturing.
Homoplymers is the most used material in the BOPP film manufacturing film plants. it is used in main layer and also skin layers and intermediate layers.
Some of common names of homopolymers used in various manufacturing plants.

1) Repol -

Repol H034SG is recommended for use in Oriented Film process. Repol H034SG is suitable for low thickness films and processing on high line speeds. Repol H034SG is the material of choice for BOPP films used in adhesive tapes, food packaging, cigratte & textile overwraps, synthetic paper, etc.
