American Biaxis BOPA Film Supplied Exclusively
by Biaxis Packaging Sales, Inc.
 Biaxis BOPA film (biaxially oriented nylon film) is produced utilizing
a state of the art three layer co-extrusion, flat cast die process.
This combined with a two-step tenter frame orientation process gives
our film an advantage over the competition in many of the following areas.
Exceptional Mechanical Strength
Our process results in film having superior mechanical properties such
as puncture, impact, burst and tear resistance.
High Abrasion and Flex-Crack Resistance
American Biaxis BOPA Film technology offers superior protection against
pin-holing and its resultant loss of barrier when compared to single-layer
mono or biaxially oriented nylon film.
The combination of superior flex crack and inherent high abrasion resistance
make Biaxis BOPA the ideal choice for packaging applications from freezing
to steam sterilization.
Dimensional Stability
Excellent mechanical properties and dimensional stability in all directions
provide balanced properties for optimum performance on both converting
and packaging equipment.
Optical Properties
Brilliant surface gloss and superb transparency make the BOPA films
supplied by Biaxis Packaging Sales, Inc. an ideal choice for applications
where package appearance is paramount.
Laminating Printing and Metallizing
American Biaxis co-ex flat die, two-step orientation system equipped
with automated continuous process and gauge control allows us to supply
BOPA films with +/- 3% gauge tolerance. This results in an ideal surface
for even the most complicated print registration requirements.
With the ability to corona treat both sides, our films exhibit extremely
high surface energy for excellent ink, lamination and metal adhesion.
Gas and Aroma Barrier
Films supplied by Biaxis Packaging Sales provide an excellent gas and
aroma barrier. These exceptional barrier properties are created through
a combination of resin selection and our three layer coex technology.
Chemical Resistance
Biaxis Packaging Sales supplied BOPA films offer excellent chemical
resistance to many organic solvents as well as fertilizers and numerous
other commercial and industrial chemicals. |
