Research Summary
BOPET stands for biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate, which is a type of polyester film widely used in various industries. BOPET film is produced through a manufacturing process called biaxial orientation, where the film is stretched in both the machine direction (MD) and transverse direction (TD). This stretching process imparts unique mechanical and optical properties to the film, making it highly versatile and suitable for a range of applications. BOPET film exhibits excellent dimensional stability, high tensile strength, good chemical resistance, and optical clarity. It is commonly used in packaging, including food packaging, as it provides barrier properties against moisture, oxygen, and UV radiation. BOPET film is also utilized in electrical insulation, magnetic tape, labels, graphic displays, and many other applications where its combination of physical and chemical properties is advantageous.
