BoPET

BoPET (biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate) is a polyester film made from stretched polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and is used for its high tensile strength,^[1] chemical stability,^[1] dimensional stability,^[2] transparency,^[1] reflectivity when metallized,^[3] gas and moisture barrier properties,^[3] and electrical insulation.^[1] The film is "biaxially oriented", which means that the polymer chains are oriented parallel to the plane of the film, and therefore oriented in two axes.^[3] A variety of companies manufacture boPET and other polyester films under different brand names. In the UK and US, the best-known trade names are Mylar, Melinex, Lumirror and Hostaphan.^[4] It was the first biaxially oriented polymer to manufactured on a mass commercial scale.^[5]
