DEF

During its production, the property for a plastic film(mainly polyester and polypropylene) of having a relatively low coefficient of friction when in contact with metal surfaces.

OBS

The frictional properties of a film are important when the film comes into contact with metal surfaces such as "ploughs", formers, guides, etc., which are used to preform tubes or to fold the material round the product.

OBS

Obtained with the addition of chemical additives.

DEF

Coefficient de friction relativement bas que possède un film plastique, ce qui lui permet de glisser plus facilement sur les pièces de machinerie métalliques lorsqu'il est transformé.

OBS

Cette propriété s'obtient grâce à l'incorporation d'agents glissants, tels que le polyéthylène et le polyuréthane, durant la fabrication du film.

DEF

A biaxially oriented polypropylene film.

CONT

The basic raw materials for OPP films are four different polypropylene-rich resins : homopolymer, copolymer, terpolymer, and modified resins.... When a film is biaxially oriented, it is mechanically stretched in directions which are at right angles to each other. By doing this, the film's molecules are aligned in the cross(transverse) machine direction(XD) as well as in the machine direction(MD).
