What is Biobased High Barrier BOPA Film for Food-BiOPA®?
Biobased High Barrier BOPA Film for Food delivers an innovative flexible packaging solution using a high-performance biobased BOPA film designed for use in the food packaging market. The Biobased High Barrier BOPA Film for Food is produced via biaxial orientation technology and utilises renewable feedstocks to produce a sustainable, robust polyamide film, which can be used to produce vacuum packaging. The physical barrier properties of Biobased High Barrier BOPA Film for Food, including both an oxygen and aroma barrier, allow Biobased High Barrier BOPA Film for Food to protect the quality and flavour of premium foods.
Additionally, Biobased High Barrier BOPA Film for Food is a drop-in replacement for petroleum-based nylon, thereby enabling food manufacturers to achieve their Environmental, Social Governance (ESG) objectives while continuing to utilise their existing manufacturing processes.
The mechanical properties of Biobased High Barrier BOPA Film for Food – i.e., tensile strength and puncture resistance – contribute to the overall structural integrity of Biobased High Barrier BOPA Film for Food. These characteristics enable Biobased High Barrier BOPA Film for Food to be utilised in applications where items will be subjected to high-temperature sterilisation, thereby positioning Biobased High Barrier BOPA Film for Food as the leading sustainable retort pouch material available today. Even when subjected to extreme temperatures present within a retort chamber, Biobased High Barrier BOPA Film for Food continues to exhibit excellent toughness and impact resistance, thus preventing package rupture and leakage. Biobased High Barrier BOPA Film for Food was engineered to provide the necessary durability to withstand the challenges associated with international logistics, with a reduced carbon footprint compared to its petroleum-based counterparts.
In addition to providing the necessary protection for packaged food products, Biobased High Barrier BOPA Film for Food offers superior printability and laminating capabilities. The surface of Biobased High Barrier BOPA Film for Food can be treated using Corona treating on either one or two sides to enhance the adhesive capabilities of the ink to the surface of Biobased High Barrier BOPA Film for Food, thus enabling the printing of high definition images. Biobased retort packaging film is the ideal choice for all applications related to sustainable high-barrier food packaging films, where the aesthetic appeal of the product is as critical as protecting the product. Biobased High Barrier BOPA Film for Food provides a stable and increasing supply of biobased BOPA film for food packaging to the world’s major food manufacturers at a production level of 150,000 tons per year.

Biobased High Barrier BOPA Film BiOPA®. Is This Material Right For Your Needs?
How Does This Bio-Based Material Compare To Conventional Nylon Films In Terms Of Functionality?
The Biobased High Barrier BOPA Film for Food is intended to be a drop-in replacement for the conventional fossil-based BOPA and will provide similar functionality and properties. The Biobased High Barrier BOPA Film for Food will have equivalent tensile strength and puncture resistance to that of a conventional fossil-based BOPA film used for vacuum packaging, so there will be no trade-offs in terms of packaging integrity or process efficiency.
Is This Material Appropriate for High Temperature Retort Sterilisation?
Yes, it represents an ideal sustainable solution for use in retort packaging applications. The Biobased High Barrier BOPA Film for Food is formulated with enhanced heat-shrinkage control and great toughness, providing a means to withstand retort temperatures (usually between 121°C and 135°C) without delaminating or compromising its high barrier properties for food packaging.
In what ways does using bio-based BOPA help a company reach its ESG goals?
Through the selection of a biobased BOPA film for food packaging, companies can dramatically reduce their Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions. This sustainable high-barrier food packaging film is produced from renewable feedstock instead of petroleum, which fits into carbon-neutral strategies, and provides a strong sustainability story for companies looking to appeal to eco-conscious consumers.
Is the film safe for use in the packaging of bone-in or sharp-edged foods?
Yes. This is due to the fact that the Biobased High Barrier BOPA Film for Food has been chosen for its superior toughness and impact resistance. The Biobased High Barrier BOPA Film for Food is a sustainable polyamide film for vacuum packaging that offers an exceptionally good puncture resistance against sharp objects. Thus, it can be utilised as a way to ensure that the vacuum seal will remain intact to avoid spoilage with the vacuum packaging of meat and seafood.
