What Is CPP Film?

A CPP film is a film made from polypropylene. It is also known as Cast polypropylene film and unstretched polypropylene film. It is made by the Cast process. The polypropylene resin is extruded through a flat die in a molten state. It is then passed through a Chill roll and cured by rapid cooling. This process gives the CPP film excellent properties.

Applications: CPP film has High transparency, High Strength, and High Barrier Property. It is mainly used in the food packaging industry. It is usually used to package meat, food, snacks, and cookies. There are also applications in other fields. The pharmaceutical field can provide very good protection for drugs and medical equipment.
