Film of polypropylene

Film extrusion

It is a polypropylene film manufactured by blown balloon and cooled by air and water, which gives it special properties of gloss, transparency and resistance to breakage, both by stretching and by impact.

Tube manufacturing allows a greater diversity of formats with less handling (semi-tube, flap, double sheet, pannier, triptych,...)

We manufacture tube film in widths ranging from 300 to 1000 mm, at 25 mm intervals. and in thicknesses from 23 microns to 120 microns.

It's part of the objective of this company to offer our customers a wide range of types of film with the greatest possible number of formats.

We can manufacture tubes of less than 300 mm thanks to a longitudinal welding, as well as side foldings. We can also microperforate the film to manufacture bags for bakery and other sectors, as well as metalized film, coloured film and even a special film for low temperatures.

Having a softening temperature upper 150ºC, polypropylene is the material used in autoclave packings or for products that have to bear high temperatures within that limit.

You have at your disposal the Technical Data Sheet of our material, as well as various certificates and reports about the current legislation in the “Documentation” section.

Biodegradable Film

Now as an extension of our range of films, we can offer you biodegradable polypropylene film.

biodegradable

The biodegradable masterbatch used is a proprietary technology designed to impart biodegradability to polyolefin material in the open environment. It develops its superior performance from the synergistic action of all natural decomposition agents, i.e. sunlight, air, heat and moisture, plus the effect of synthetic mimics or "prebiotics" that attract microorganisms in a early stage.

Unlike others, this technology does not leave behind microplastics and allows safe and complete biodegradation into carbon dioxide, water and biomass in less than eleven months from the date of manufacture.

The ecotoxicity tests comply with the criteria for ecotoxicity tests and, therefore, the products manufactured with this film are considered not harmful when in contact with the soil, plants and the aquatic environment.

Our product is PAS 9017:2020 certified, the standard for the biodegradation of polyolefins in an outdoor terrestrial environment (Report IMP4710-LR, by Impact Laboratories Ltd – independent plastics experts)

In addition, the film has passed the relevant migration tests and can be used in packaging for contact with food.
