Cosmo Films, engaged in the manufacturing of bi-axially oriented polypropylene films (BOPP) and thermal films, has developed a new transparent printable biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film called "TeploR" with a higher heat resistance.

The FMCG brands and the entire packaging industry are aiming to recycle waste generated from flexible packaging . BOPP films have an excellent recyclability however; most of the flexible packaging is made with different plastic materials making it difficult to recycle.

TeploR has been engineered to work as a printing layer allowing mono material structures in multi-layer laminates for various packaging applications in both food and non-food segments. The film has excellent slip properties, good machinability and has a great performance on high-speed VFFS and HFFS machines. It has good thermal stability (no shrinkage) upto 185 degree Celsius; way more when compared to conventional BOPP films.

TeploR will prove to be a good replacement in packaging machines where the sealing temperatures are higher.

Commenting on the same, Pankaj Poddar, CEO, Cosmo Films, said, "The TeploR film has an excellent printable surface at high converting speeds, will not shrink or form wrinkles and can be recycled easily. We have also gone ahead and patented the product in the company's name."

Shares of the company gained Rs 6.45, or 1.43%, to trade at  Rs 458.95.  The total volume of shares traded  was  1,038 at the BSE (12.20 p.m., Thursday).
