|  | OPP, oriented polypropylene, is a flexible material derived from melting and orienting (stretching!) a polymer called polypropylene. This raw material, an oil by-product, is inert and unaffected by most chemical agents occurring in everyday life. It meets the requirements of the US Food and Drug Administration and other relevant authorities throughout the world. Uncoated polypropylene contains primarily carbon and hydrogen, and includes no heavy metals or other environmentally hazardous substances. By orienting polypropylene, we can improve its physical properties, such as water vapor barrier, stiffness, dimensional stability, and optics.
Packaging and labeling are our two major markets. ExxonMobil Chemical Films offers a wide range of products to meet the diverse needs of these industries.
