CPP - Cast Polypropylene Film
CPP Characteristics and Applications
Cast Polypropylene Film (abbreviation: CPP) has increased popularity over polyethylene. Compared to polyethylene, CPP has higher clarity & gloss, better heat resistance, better layflat and planarity.
Our CPP films are ISO 9000 and food contact certified. In recent years, as more "ready-to-eat foods" enter the market there is a growing demand for CPP especially if those products are being made through the retort process for the reason that CPP is a critical component in the structure of these laminated packages. Our newest version of CPP provides an "easy tear" feature not normally seen with CPP films. This special film allows converters to create retort pouches which are much more consumer friendly for opening. has been selling CPP films to both stationery and packaging markets for 20 years. We are able to offer converters customized formulations which tailor the film to the particular needs of the applications.
OTHER PRODUCT FEATURES:
Microperforations: Available from 1 to 160 holes per square inch on some grades
Stiffness: High Stiffness (homopolymer) or soft (co-polymers) or medium stiffness
Puncture Resistance: Increased resistance available on certain grades
Haze: Available under 2% on some grades
Slip: Modifiable to be either high slip or low slip
Sealant Layers: One or two sides;depending on the grade
Low Seal Initiation Temperature: Available on certain grades
Corona Treatment: One side, both sides or none
Cores: 3" or 6" available
Widths: Minimum of 0.5" to maximum of approximately 90"
Minimum OD's or Footage: Can produce small rolls down to as low as 1000 feet in length
Maximum OD's: Depending on the grade; can exceed 30"
Packaging: Horizontal or vertical packaging; small rolls can be boxed as specified
CPP Characteristics
1. Excellent tensile strength, resistance to impact strength and puncture resistance.
2. Excellent toughness and resistance to pinhole and punctures.
3. Good barrier properties to odors and gases (oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide).
4. Excellent resistance to oil, fats and chemical solvent.
5. BOPA has a wide range of usage temperatures (-60℃ to +150℃). The maximum melting point is + 225℃ and BOPA
has stable mechanical properties in low or high operating temperatures.
6. BOPA is highly hygienic, non-toxic, odorless, and tasteless, which is excellent for packaging of products with
demanding hygienic requirements.
7. Good transparency, gloss and printing performance, with low haze.
8. BOPA has excellent performance in an environment rich with humidity.
Application of CPP Film
The excellent features of BOPA film make it widely used both in food and non-food industries, such as electrical, insulation, agriculture, food packaging, and medical devices. Very often BOPA is laminated with other materials (PE, EVA, PET, CPP, BOPP, BP, aluminum foil and paper) with the objective of providing a more comprehensive performance. The laminated structure is then utilized for: (1) Food packaging: vacuum refrigerated, vacuum retort and modified atmosphere packages (ham, chicken, sausage and other animal proteins), spice, salty food (pickles), vegetables, aquatic foods, tea, coffee and flavorings. (2) Electrical, insulation and medical: sterile medical devices / medicine, cosmetics, scouring agents, shampoo, integrated circuits and other instruments.
Examples of CPP Uses
Application Example
Boilable and puncture resistant packaging Pickles, liquid, bean sauce, hamburgers, frozen food
Transparent cooking packaging Meat proteins, rice, meatballs, meatloaf
Cooking and laminated to Aluminum foil Curry, mustard, stew foods, and soy sauce, stir fry, soups
General food packaging Rice, ham, sausage, meatballs, dried fish, beef jerky, tea, chili oil, vegetables
Non-food packaging materials Balloons, electrical components, circuit boards, injection tubing, hospital bags
cosmetics, lotion, detergent, shampoo,
Yarn, hot stamp and membranes Hot stamping foil, metallic yarn, heat-resistant membranes
