Wet BioPP Matt

Wet BioPP Matt

Wet BioPP Matt films are produced using 30% Biobased PP resin obtained from 2nd generation BIO feedstock (waste vegetable cooking oils) and 70% Virgin PP. These films are made of polypropylene resins of the same quality as traditional fossil fuel-based resins and are ideal for both the graphic arts and packaging industries.  They repurpose waste material into biobased PP, reducing the use of fossil fuel-based resins.  BioPP laminating films offer a sustainable alternative that supports the environment and our sustainability goals

This Matt lamination film has a non-glossy or natural matt finish, which makes it ideal for applications where a more subdued look is required.

What is BioPP Lamination Film?

BioPP lamination film is a polypropylene-based film that incorporates bio-based raw materials, typically derived from renewable feedstocks such as waste vegetable oils. This reduces reliance on fossil fuel-based plastics while maintaining the same mechanical and visual properties as traditional BOPP films.

BioPP films are designed to offer a more sustainable solution without compromising on performance, making them increasingly popular in modern print and packaging applications.

Key Features

• Sustainable material – Produced using bio-based polypropylene from renewable sources
• Reduced fossil fuel usage – Helps lower environmental impact compared to standard films
• Matt finish – Smooth, non-reflective surface for a premium look
• BOPP performance – Maintains strength, flexibility and clarity
• Wet lamination compatible – Designed for use with adhesive-based lamination systems
• Excellent print compatibility – Suitable for further finishing such as foiling and varnishing

Benefits of BioPP Matt Lamination

BioPP matt lamination films provide both environmental and functional advantages:

• Improved sustainability profile – Supports eco-conscious production and packaging strategies
• Consistent matt finish – Reduces glare and enhances readability
• Enhanced protection – Protects against moisture, dust and general wear
• Durability – Extends the lifespan of printed materials
• Versatile performance – Suitable for a wide range of applications

BOPP-based lamination films are widely used because they enhance appearance while improving durability and resistance to environmental factors.

Applications

Wet BioPP Matt Lamination Film is suitable for a wide range of print and packaging applications:

• Brochures, catalogues and marketing materials
• Book covers and publications
• Carton and paperboard packaging
• Labels and printed media
• General commercial print finishing

It is particularly suited to brands looking to balance performance, appearance and sustainability.

BioPP Matt vs Anti-Scratch BioPP

• BioPP Matt Lamination provides a standard matt finish with sustainable material benefits
• BioPP Anti-Scratch Matt includes an additional coating to improve resistance to scuffs and abrasion

Standard BioPP matt films are ideal for general applications, while anti-scratch versions are better suited for high-contact or premium packaging environments.

Wet vs Thermal Lamination

Wet lamination differs from thermal lamination in how the adhesive is applied:

• Wet lamination uses a liquid adhesive during processing
• Thermal lamination uses heat-activated adhesive pre-coated onto the film

Wet lamination is typically preferred for high-volume production due to its strong bonding and flexibility.
