The Dance of Metal and CPP: Creating the Miracle of Low Friction

Mar 21,2024

In modern industry, thin film materials play a crucial role, particularly in packaging, transportation, and manufacturing. CPP (Cast Polypropylene) films are favored for their excellent physical properties and wide range of applications. However, single CPP films still face some challenges in terms of friction performance. To overcome this limitation, researchers have delved into extensive studies and exploration, ultimately discovering the perfect combination of metal and CPP films - low friction metallized CPP films.
So, how is this layer of metal achieved? The secret lies in the clever integration between metal and CPP films. Through advanced coating techniques, metal is precisely coated onto the surface of CPP films, forming a thin, hard protective layer. This process requires high precision and technological control to ensure that the metal layer can uniformly and smoothly cover the surface of CPP films, creating a perfect protective layer.
This layer of metal not only increases the hardness of CPP films but also endows them with outstanding abrasion resistance. The hardness of metal is much higher than that of CPP films themselves, so when the metal layer covers the surface of CPP films, it significantly enhances their overall hardness. This means that whether it's friction on high-speed production lines or minor wear and tear in everyday use, low friction metallized CPP films can easily cope, maintaining their excellent appearance and performance.
The formation of the metal layer also brings about other unexpected benefits. In addition to enhancing the hardness and abrasion resistance of CPP films, the metal layer provides a lubricating layer for CPP films. This lubricating layer can significantly reduce the friction coefficient between CPP films and other objects, reducing wear and friction. This lubricating effect makes low friction metallized CPP films smoother in packaging, transportation, and manufacturing processes, reducing unnecessary energy loss and mechanical wear.
Furthermore, the presence of the metal layer adds a barrier layer to CPP films. External factors such as moisture and oxygen are important factors affecting the quality of packaged goods. The metal layer effectively blocks these external factors from invading the interior of the packaging, thus protecting the quality and stability of the packaged goods. This enhancement in barrier performance makes low friction metallized CPP films have broader applications in industries such as food and pharmaceuticals.
The perfect combination of metal and CPP films has brought us the innovative material of low friction metallized CPP films. Through precise coating techniques, the metal layer is uniformly covered on the surface of CPP films, forming a thin, hard protective layer. This layer of metal not only enhances the hardness and abrasion resistance of CPP films but also provides lubricating and barrier properties. This perfect combination makes low friction metallized CPP films have wide application prospects in the fields of packaging, transportation, and manufacturing, bringing more convenience and surprises to our lives.
