films Made of polypropylene (PP) - Schlichter GmbH

OPP/BOPP film for high-quality product packaging is made of polypropylene, also known as PP for short.OPP, in turn, is an abbreviation for “Oriented Polypropylene.”

One advantage of polypropylene is that it is harder and more heat-resistant than, for example, polyethylene. Polypropylene is considered one of the most widely used plastics. According to Wikipedia, approximately 17 million metric tons were used worldwide in 2016 for flexible packaging materials alone.

Polypropylene (PP)

Polypropylene is often compared to polyethylene and is similar to this plastic in many respects, particularly in terms of solubility and electrical properties. However, polypropylene has better mechanical properties and thermal stability than polyethylene. A particular advantage of polypropylene is that it can exhibit excellent resistance to fatigue.

Polypropylene has the lowest density of all standard plastics. This makes it possible to manufacture lighter-weight molded parts, which is another advantage for many products. Its high resistance to fatigue makes polypropylene a popular plastic for manufacturing products and as a material for film packaging.
