Biaxially Oriented Polyethylene Terephthalate (BOPET) films are crafted by stretching PET in two directions. BOPET films are used in various industries as they have a unique combination of properties. The BOPET film market was valued at USD 5.68 Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow and reach USD 9.48 Billion by 2028.
Let's take a look at these unique properties of BOPET films:
- BOPET films by Cosmo Films are strong and incredibly reliable. These films offer superior resistance to tearing and puncturing, which makes them the trusted choice for film packaging applications. BOPET films, under varying temperatures and humidity levels, maintain their original shape. These dimensionally stable films are ideal for applications like electronics where precise measurements are required.
- The biaxial orientation process enhances the film's resistance to punctures, which benefits packaging sharp objects or products susceptible to damage during transit.
- BOPET films are barrier films that offer a barrier against gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide. This property of these versatile films prevents spoilage, limits oxygen exposure, and maintains product freshness.
- BOPET films also prevent unwanted odors from entering or escaping the packaging, acting as aroma barriers.
