60 μm yellow cast polypropylene film for food, medical can industrial packaging
60-micron translucent yellow or opaque yellow cast polypropylene
(CPP) film is a thicker and more robust packaging material
than 50-micron CPP film. Here are some of the primary uses of
60-micron translucent yellow or opaque yellow CPP film:
1. Heavy-Duty Packaging:
The extra thickness of 60-micron CPP film makes it an
ideal packaging material for heavy-duty items like construction
equipment,
machinery parts, and other industrial products that
require strong and durable packaging.
2. Fruits and Vegetables Packaging:
The high moisture barrier properties of 60-micron CPP
film make it an excellent packaging material for fruits and
vegetables that need
to be transported over long distances. The yellow
color of the film improves the packaging's visual appeal.
3. Frozen Food Packaging:
60-micron CPP film is suitable for packaging of
frozen products like vegetables, fruits, and meat. The film's thick
and robust nature
ensures that the contents remain intact during
transportation and storage.
4. Gifts and Handicraft Packaging:
The yellow color of the film provides an attractive
and appealing appearance, making it popular among crafters and gift
wrappers.
It adds an aesthetic look to the handicrafts,
improving their overall aesthetics.
5. Pharmaceuticals and Medical Packaging:
The high moisture and gas barrier properties of
60-micron CPP film make it an ideal packaging material for
pharmaceuticals and
medical products, which require strict protection
against environmental factors that could compromise their
integrity.
6. Stationery and Office Supplies Packaging:
The thickness and durability of 60-micron CPP film
make it ideal for packaging office supplies such as pens, paper
clips, and other
stationery items to ensure their protection against
wear and tear caused by handling and transportation.
Overall, the thicker and more robust nature of 60-micron
translucent yellow or opaque yellow cast polypropylene film make it
ideal for
heavy-duty packaging as compared to thinner films like 50-micron
CPP film. It is also ideal for packing frozen foods, handicrafts,
medical
equipment, pharmaceuticals, and stationery items.
The significant feature of cast polypropylene film is its excellent
transparency, high gloss, and good moisture barriers making it
suitable for packaging applications where product visibility is
important. It is also highly durable, flexible, and has excellent
sealing properties, making it
ideal for applications requiring heat sealing. Furthermore, CPP
film is highly resistant to punctures, tearing, and abrasion, which
makes it a
reliable option for packaging applications that face rough handling
during transportation.
Additionally, CPP film has good stiffness and dimensional
stability, which means it is unlikely to shrink or stretch during
processing or use,
which can help to ensure consistent packaging performance. It has
also good printability and great clarity of graphics, which makes
it ideal
for using visual cues as branding elements on packaging.
The process for producing cast polypropylene (CPP) film involves:
1. Polymerization:
Propylene monomers are polymerized under pressure and
high temperature to produce polypropylene resin pellets.
2. Extrusion:
The polypropylene resin pellets are melted and
extruded through a flat die to form a thin, continuous sheet.
3. Orientation:
The extruded sheet is stretched across the machine
direction (MD) and transverse direction (TD) to improve the
mechanical
properties and clarity of the film.
4. Cooling:
The film is cooled down using a cooling roll and
stored on a take-up roll.
5. Finishing:
The film is treated with corona discharge or other
surface treatments to improve printing quality and adhesion.
Now, coming to the advantages of CPP film over Biaxially Oriented
Polypropylene (BOPP) film:
1. Improved sealing properties:
CPP film has better sealing properties due to its
higher seal strength, which makes it ideal for use in food
packaging applications.
2. Enhanced clarity:
CPP film has better clarity and gloss than BOPP film,
which makes it more attractive for use in packaging applications
where product
visibility is essential.
3. Better hot tack properties:
CPP film has better hot tack properties, which allows
it to be used in high-speed packaging machines where quick sealing
is required.
4. Increased heat resistance:
CPP films have greater heat resistance than BOPP
films, making them better suited for use in hot-fill and retort
packaging applications
where high temperatures are required.
5. Higher puncture resistance:
CPP films have higher puncture resistance than BOPP
films, making them more durable and resistant to damage during
transportation
and storage.
Overall, CPP film has several advantages over BOPP film, making it
a popular choice for a wide range of packaging applications. CPP
films' improved sealing properties, clarity, heat resistance, and
puncture resistance make them ideal for use in food packaging, as
well as in industrial and agricultural packaging
applications.
