BOPA FILM

POLYAMIDE 6 AND COPOLYAMIDES FOR BOPA FILM PRODUCTION

Biaxially oriented polyamide films (BOPA) are very thin structures that provide a high barrier and excellent mechanical properties (puncture and tear resistance).

Promyde^® offers a wide range of polymers to suit all BOPA film processing technologies for both simultaneous and sequential orientation equipment.

Polyamide 6 is used in food packaging due to its high barrier to oxygen and other gases, in addition to avoiding contamination of aromas and flavors. BOPA extrusion grades of Promyde offer thermal stability and compatibility with other materials used in lamination.

With our range of products specially designed for BOPA extrusion, we offer high quality and excellent processing with the lowest moisture and free monomer contents in the market.

This process is especially recommended for the packaging of frozen products, tray lids and vacuum packaging bags.
