Product Description

BOPET, or biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate, is a type of polyester film made through biaxial orientation, a process with which the resin is stretched from two directions, thus forming a thin, transparent and uniform thermoplastic film. In the mentioned process, the film is stretched in parallel in the machine direction (when symbolized by l) and perpendicular to the machine direction (when symbolized by t) which ensures a perfect alignment of polymer molecules thereby providing them with enhanced tensile strength, clarity, and dimensional stability. The BOPET film manufacturing is done by extruding molten polyester resin through a flooring die, followed by biaxial stretching and heat setting to gain the desired properties. BOPET film is commonly used across different sectors of the industry due to its unique features such as high tensile strength, ease of processing, optical transparency and sealing potential against moisture and gases.
