The acquisition expanded the company's footprint by providing a manufacturing facility in Mexico. Their manufacturing process is the Tenter system. In 2020 CCL Industries acquired Flexpol S.p.a. a BOPP films producer in Plock, Poland who have both Tenter and Cast polypropylene production. They were also rebranded Innovia Films.
Metallized boPET film, 32 layers of ~14 μm thickness each. BoPET (biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate) is a polyester film made from stretched polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and is used for its high tensile strength, [1] chemical stability, [1] dimensional stability, [2] transparency [1] reflectivity, and electrical insulation.

Shrink wrap, also shrink film, is a material made up of polymer plastic film. When heat is applied, it shrinks tightly over whatever it is covering. When heat is applied, it shrinks tightly over whatever it is covering.
Two methods are widely used for producing BOPP films, namely, a bi-directional stenter process or a double-bubble blown film extrusion process. [39] Biaxial orientation increases strength and clarity. [40] BOPP is widely used as a packaging material for packaging products such as snack foods, fresh produce and confectionery.
Plastic films are usually thermoplastics and are formed by melting for forming the film. [2] Cast – Plastics extrusion can cast film which is cooled or quenched then wound up on a roll. Extruded film can be stretched, thinned, or oriented in one or two directions. Blown or tubular process forces air into an extruded ring to expand the film ...
The original production process uses carbon disulfide (CS 2), which has been found to be highly toxic to workers. [2] The newer lyocell process can be used to produce cellulose film without involving carbon disulfide. [3] "Cellophane" is a generic term in some countries, [4] while in other countries it is a registered trademark.
Metallised films have a reflective silvery surface similar to aluminium foil and are highly flammable. The coating also reduces the permeability of the film to light, water and oxygen. The properties of the film remain, such as higher toughness, the ability to be heat sealed, and a lower density at a lower cost than an aluminium foil.
Thick film wiring can be made compatible with surface-mount technology (SMT), and if needed (due to tolerances and/or size requirements) surface-mountable parts (resistors, capacitors, ICs, etc.) can be assembled on a thick film substrate. The manufacturing of thick film devices/modules is an additive process involving deposition of several ...
