Straight Tear BOPA Film

What is Supamid® TSA® Straight Tear BOPA Film?

The tear straight along film model TSA (Tear Straight Along) is a completely functional Nylon material designed to tear in a straight line in the machine direction. It is the easy-open packaging film that does not require scissors or cutting lines for opening; this will greatly increase the ease of opening for both young children and elderly people. The straight tear bopa film utilises the latest Biaxially Oriented Film Technology, and therefore the straight tear performance is preserved even when laminated with various substrate materials such as PE, CPP and Aluminum Foil. This particular feature prevents end-users from experiencing jagged tears and injuries resulting from leaks of packaged products, and makes this film the top choice for high-end consumer products.

Companies seeking a BOPA film for applications requiring protection from oxygen-sensitive foods (such as Cheese, Sauce and Prepared Meats) may utilise the TSA series to obtain a high-quality barrier stable film. Thin-gauge, high-barrier solutions are ideal for protecting the quality of these types of products. In addition to its excellent barrier properties, the straight tear bopa film also retains its flexibility and twisting properties after undergoing retort packaging processes at high temperatures (up to 121°C). The printability of straight tear bopa film allows for up to nine colour printing, and as a result, the packaging will be both visually appealing and functional.

Although TSA focuses on the ease of use of opening, the specialised barrier films of the Supamid EHA Series are available. EHAp is the "Barrier Champion" and has an oxygen permeability of <2 cc/(m²dayatm) and is suitable for room temperature-filled products, and hot-filled products up to 105°C. EHAr is the "Heat Resistant Guardian", and has an oxygen permeability of <8 cc/ (m²dayatm), and can maintain a barrier against boiling sterilisation at 100°C. The 150,000 ton per year production capacity of Xiamen Changsu enables the combination of TSA and EHA Series Films to offer a complete selection of products for companies seeking an easy-open packaging film that provides protection for their product needs.

• Freezer and Retort Stable: The film retains its consistent easy-open performance after high-temperature sterilisation at 121°C, or after storing in deep freeze conditions.

• Compatibility: The film is compatible with all standard lamination constructions, including aluminium foil, PE and CPP substrate layers.

• Presentation: The film is printable for 9-colour printing and has wide heat seal areas of up to 6 cm to create secure and visually appealing packaging for liquid and dry goods.

In what ways does the use of straight tear bopa film improve consumer brand loyalty?

Consumer dissatisfaction with difficult-to-open packages may cause consumers to switch brands. Brands that utilise straight tear bopa film provide an easy-open packaging film experience that avoids jagged tears and spills; thus providing a positive and hassle-free experience that encourages repeat purchases.

Will laminating with aluminium foil affect the straight-tear effect?

No, the TSA model was engineered to be compatible with laminations. The film maintains its linear tear characteristics along the machine direction even when part of a complex laminated structure with foil, PE, or CPP.

Is the film suitable for packaging frozen foods?

Yes, the straight tear bopa film is designed for extreme environments and will maintain its linear tear performance even after freezing, making it a reliable thin-gauge high-barrier solution for frozen cheese, sauce and prepared meats that require rapid opening.

What is the primary difference between EHAp and TSA film?

TSA is primarily an easy-open packaging film with straight-line tearing capabilities. EHAp is a "barrier champion" BOPA film for oxygen-sensitive foods that provides an ultra-high oxygen barrier of <2 cc / (· day · atm) for ultimate freshness.

Can the straight tear bopa film undergo retort sterilisation?

Yes, the straight tear bopa film can endure retort processing up to 121°C, making it an ideal flexible and twistable barrier film for ready-to-eat meals that require both high-temperature safety and a user-friendly opening method.

What is the production volume that Changsu can produce for this film?

Xiamen Changsu produces a massive amount of film for international packaging manufacturers and top-tier consumer brands with a global capacity of 150,000 tons annually.
