BON, BOPET, and BOPP: Comparing Top Performers in Flexible Packaging
When it comes to high-performance flexible packaging, three materials consistently lead the pack: Biaxially Oriented Nylon (BON), Biaxially Oriented Polyester (BOPET), and Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP). Each of these films offers unique characteristics that make them ideal for specific applications — from food and medical to industrial and personal care.…

What is Biaxially Oriented Film? A Guide for Flexible Packaging
Biaxially film orientation is a process where manufacturers heat and stretch a plastic film in two different directions, both lengthwise and widthwise. Think of it like taking a piece of soft dough and stretching it out evenly in all directions. This reorganizes the polymer molecules inside, creating a very thin, strong,…

Release Films for Prepreg Composites: Precision Separation for High-Performance Parts
Why Release Films Matter in Prepreg Manufacturing In advanced composites manufacturing, release films are essential. They create a clean, non-stick barrier during the curing of pre-impregnated fibers (prepregs), ensuring parts release smoothly from tooling surfaces. Without high-performance release films, defects, surface damage, or excess resin could compromise the final composite…
