Ultimate Guide to BOPE Film: Benefits, Applications, Types

BOPE film is a very popular packaging material used in many applications. BOPE film is a high-performance packaging material. Its raw material is polyethylene resin. It is made by bi-directional stretching technology. The polymer material has undergone Transverse Stretching in both Longitudinal direction and Longitudinal Stretching in the molding, and the performance has been greatly improved. It is different from the traditional film produced by Blown and Cast. BOPE film has better transparency, Heat sealing strength, and rigidity. Tear resistance and tensile strength are also superior. BOPE has also made great strides in plastic film recyclability.

Benefits of Using BOPE Film

BOPE Film Performance has many benefits, excellent machine performance, and good transparency. It is also lightweight and very cost-effective. It is also recyclable and environmentally friendly.

• Mechanical properties: BOPE film is biaxially oriented and has a unique molecular orientation. So it has excellent puncture and tear resistance. It is stronger than traditional LDPE films. Rigidity and Heat sealing strength are also high. Flexibility and sealability are also excellent in low-temperature freezing environments. Suitable for cold chain applications and frozen food packaging.
• Transparency: BOPE films have good transparency and Glossiness. You can see the packaged product. It can enhance the attractiveness of the product to the user-consumer.
• Lightweight: BOPE film is very lightweight, and the thickness of BOPE film can be reduced by about 45% compared to traditional PE film. The density of resources needed to make BOPE film is also lower. Raw materials can be saved, and costs can be reduced.
• Environmentally friendly: BOPE film is a derivative of a single packaging material. It can be recycled, reducing CO2 emissions. And it can be recycled using existing polyethylene recycling processes. The complexity and cost of recycling can be reduced. It can reduce the impact on the environment. It is a very sustainable packaging material.

Applications of BOPE Film

BOPE films are used in a wide range of applications. The consumption of PE in recent years accounted for more than 65% of the global polyethylene. It is widely used in food packaging, pharmaceutical packaging, industrial product packaging, and other fields. And BOPE film can be recycled, for the pursuit of sustainable development of enterprises is very important!

Food Packaging: BOPE film can be used for food packaging. BOPE films can package frozen foods, fresh produce, meats, cheeses, and baked goods. BOPE film effectively insulates against moisture and oxygen. It extends shelf life and keeps food fresh. BOPE films are flexible and seal well at low temperatures. BOPE film can provide excellent protection against freezer burn, so it is also widely used in the field of frozen food packaging.

Pharmaceutical packaging: BOPE film can be used to package pharmaceuticals and medical devices. It has excellent barrier properties and is chemically resistant. It provides a sterile environment to ensure the safety and hygiene of equipment and medicines.

Industrial product packaging: Suitable for packaging electronic components and automotive parts. BOPE film has very good tear and puncture resistance and high strength. It can well protect the products from damage.

Types of BOPE Film

BOPE Performance Films: BOPE Performance Films are specially designed for special application scenarios and applications. Special coatings or additives can be added during fabrication and production. Printability, easy to print clear and complex patterns on the film surface. UV resistance protects products in sunny scenarios and extends outdoor shelf life. Anti-static, electronic components and electronic products are sensitive to static electricity.

BOPE vacuum film: BOPE vacuum film is used to remove the air from the package and reduce the air around the product. Form a state close to a vacuum. It can isolate oxygen and water vapor. Strong sealing. Can form a tight, long-lasting seal. Keeps products fresh and extends shelf life. Ideal for cheese, dairy products, fresh meats, seafood, and frozen foods. Fresh meat, seafood, and frozen fast food.

BOPE Wrap: BOPE Wrap is used to secure palletized goods. BOPE Wrap is stronger and stretches better, so you only need to use it for a few minutes to ensure the stability of the product during transportation. BOPE Wrap is stronger and stretches better, so very little film is needed to complete the package. Reduces the amount of film used. Tear resistance is also very good, and it can ensure no breakage in sharp places. Suitable for packaging furniture and electrical appliances, warehouse palletization, etc.

BOPE Shrink Film: BOPE Shrink Film has excellent Heat Sealability. It can tightly wrap the product after heating. It has excellent shrinkage and puncture resistance. It is transparent, glossy, and recyclable. It is usually used for packaging cosmetics, canned food, bottled beverages, and so on.

FAQ

Difference Between Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) vs. Biaxially Oriented Polyethylene

BOPP and BOPE are both bi-oriented plastic packaging materials. However, BOPP is made from polypropylene, while BOPE is made from polyethylene. Their properties and applications are also different. BOPP has better moisture resistance, while BOPE has better overall barrier properties. BOPE is recyclable and more environmentally friendly than BOPP, which is less harmful to the environment. BOPE is recyclable and more environmentally friendly than BOPP, and is less harmful to the environment. BOPE is also more flexible and pliable.
