BOPET FILM (Biaxially oriented Polyethylene Terephthalate) is a polyester film derived from Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET). This film has some amazing qualities like high tensile strength, chemical stability, structural stability etc. BOPET FILM is produced by the process in which orientation of PET is changed to convert it into BOPET FILM film. The process starts from introducing molten PET into the extruder where it passes through rollers and get quenched. After quenching, PET gets converted into amorphous solid and then its orientation is biaxially changed from drawing. BOPET FILM has wide range of uses in different sectors due to its qualities. It is majorly utilised in the packaging sector due to its non-toxic nature and high heat resistivity, in the paper industry to provide glossiness, as an insulator in electrical appliances, fire shelter, as a sail in sailboat, in balloons, in nail polish etc.
