Bicor™ MB344US - Oriented Polypropylene Film
Product Description
Bicor™ MB344US is a multi-layer transparent OPP film with a modified sealant technology (Ultra Seal) to provide improved seal performance over conventional OPP heat seal films.
The film is designed to provide high seal strength, great seal integrity and good hot tack range, which combined with a high film stiffness is ideal for downgauging sealants. MB344US is one-side treated, one-side sealable OPP film designed for use as the inside web in a laminate, for example in stand up pouch (SUP) applications. It is also suitable for other packaging applications with demanding seal performance and provides better WVTR performance, puncture resistance and lower haze than most blown or cast PP and PE films.
