Biaxially Oriented Polyamide (BOPA) films are special structures with high gas barrier and excellent mechanical Properties (tear and puncture resistance), also achieving thinner thicknesses. It is especially recommended for frozen packaging, top fill for rigid trays or vacuum packaging applications.
Polyamide oxygen and gas barrier properties avoid ageing and discolouration, whilst preserving odours and flavours.

It delivers high mechanical strength, puncture resistance,heat resistance even at sterilizing temperatures and
thermoformability.

When using in BOPA films, some properties are enhanced,
such as puncture resistance, strength, stiffness and elongation at break.

Polyamides are used as a component of coextruded or laminated multilayer films to protect foodstuffs from oxidation (e.g., meat, sausage casings, cheese, coffee, nuts, stand-up pouches, shrink bags, etc)
Polyamides is also used in medical film to safely protect medical devices, as well as in automotive applications and in decorative and protecting film.
Packaging plays an important role in extending the durability of food. Polyamides provides fundamental benefits in applications like barrier, vacuum films
