摘要

Improved clarity and cost competitiveness,added to its inherent heat resistance,are reviving OPP's prospects in hot-fill barrier containers.But hot-fill PET containers are raising the bar with higher productivity and 'panel-less' bottle designs.Every few years,there have been excited predictions that oriented polypropylene(OPP)bottles would make a breakthrough in replacing PET and glass in a broad range of food and non-food containers.Today,OPP is re-emerging as a contender due to its high-heat capability,light weight,improved clarity,and cost competitiveness.
