Foreword

This standard was modified in relation to ISO 17555:2003 Plastics - Film and sheeting

- Biaxially oriented polypropylene (PP) films (English version).

This standard was redrafted based on ISO 17555:2003. Appendix A lists the comparison

of the chapter and clause numbers of this standard and the chapter and clause numbers

of the international standard ISO 17555:2003.

Taking into account Chinese national conditions, this standard has made some

modifications when adopting ISO 17555:2003. Some technical differences have been

incorporated into the text, and the relevant clauses are marked with a vertical single line

in the margin. Appendix B provides a list of technical differences between this standard

and ISO 17555:2003 and their reasons for reference.

Compared with ISO 17555:2003, the main differences in this standard are as follows:

-- The product classification has been modified; the classification based on the

treated surface and non-treated surface has been deleted, and the product is

divided into ordinary type and heat-seal type according to whether it can be heat-

sealed;

-- The standard levels of major technical performances such as thickness deviation,

tensile strength, elongation at break, haze, and treated surface wetting tension

are improved;

-- Two performance indices "heat seal strength" and "glossiness" are added.

For ease of use, this standard has also made the following editorial changes:

-- The foreword of the international standard has been deleted;

-- Informative Appendix A and Appendix B have been added for guidance.

This standard replaces GB/T 10003-1996 Biaxially oriented polypropylene plain film

and GB/T 12026-2000 Biaxially oriented polypropylene film for heat-seal.

Compared with GB/T 10003-1996 Biaxially oriented polypropylene plain film and

GB/T 12026-2000 Biaxially oriented polypropylene film for heat-seal, the main

differences in this standard are as follows:

-- The technical indices such as thickness deviation and glossiness are improved;

-- The thickness test method has been unified, changing from the stacking method

of GB/T 10003-1996 and the single-layer method of GB/T 12026-2000 to the

stacking method;

Biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film for general use

1 Scope

This standard applies to ordinary (plain film) and heat-seal films for general use, which

are made from polypropylene resin as the main raw material and are produced by biaxial

stretching using the flat film method.

This standard does not apply to other biaxially oriented polypropylene films with

special functions, such as biaxially oriented polypropylene matt film, biaxially oriented

polypropylene pearlized film, biaxially oriented polypropylene film for ripping strip,

biaxially oriented polypropylene film for capacitors, and biaxially oriented

polypropylene cigarette packaging film.

3 Classification

Depending on whether there is a heat-sealing layer on the surface, it is divided into

ordinary type (Type A) and heat-seal type (Type B).

4 Requirements

4.1 Appearance

The appearance of the film shall comply with the requirements in Table 1, and the

appearance of the film roll shall comply with the requirements in Table 2.

where:

deltad -- average thickness deviation, expressed in %;

deltadm -- the maximum thickness deviation, expressed in %;

deltadn -- the minimum thickness deviation, expressed in %;

L1 -- average thickness, in micrometers (µm);

L2 -- the maximum thickness value, in micrometers (µm);

L3 -- the minimum thickness value, in micrometers (µm);

S -- nominal thickness, in micrometers (µm).

5.5 Width and length

The test of the width and length shall be in accordance with the provisions of GB/T

6673-2001.

5.6 Tensile strength and nominal strain at break

According to the provisions of GB/T 1040.3-2006, the specimen is prepared by cutting

method, and the specimen type is type 2. The specimen is a strip with a length of 150

mm and a width of (15±0.1) mm. The distance between the fixtures is 100 mm, and the

test speed is (250±25) mm/min.

5.7 Thermal shrinkage rate

5.7.1 Test instruments and equipment

Blast constant temperature oven (with a stainless-steel plate), stopwatch, and measuring

tool (with an accuracy of 0.5 mm).

5.7.2 Specimens

The length direction and width direction of the film roll are the longitudinal and

transverse directions of the specimen, respectively. Cut 5 square specimens of 100

mm×100 mm from the sample to be tested in the direction parallel to the longitudinal

direction. The sides of the square shall be parallel to the longitudinal direction of the

film roll, and the longitudinal and transverse directions shall be marked. Draw two

straight lines parallel to the two sides of the square and passing through the center of

the square as marks, and accurately measure the lengths of the two straight lines.

5.7.3 Test procedures

Place the specimen flat on the stainless-steel plate in the constant temperature oven at

120 °C±3 °C, with the stainless steel plate located in the middle of the oven. During the

test, the air is blown and the heating time is 120 seconds. Take out the specimen and

cool it to the test environment temperature. Measure the length of the longitudinal and

transverse marking lines with an accuracy of 0.5 mm.

5.7.4 Result calculation

The longitudinal and transverse thermal shrinkage rates are calculated according to

formula (4):

where:

T -- the thermal shrinkage rate of the specimen, expressed in %;

L -- the length of the marked straight line before heating, in millimeters (mm);

L1 -- the length of the marked straight line after heating, in millimeters (mm).

Take the arithmetic mean of the five specimens as the thermal shrinkage rate of the

tested sample.

Cut 5 specimens evenly along the width direction of the film roll. The specimens are

150 mm long and (15±0.1) mm wide.

5.8.2 Test procedures

During the test, fold the specimen in half, align the two ends and place them flat on the

welding surface of the heat sealer for heat sealing. The heat sealing temperature is

135 °C, the welding surface pressure during heat sealing is 0.18 MPa, and the heat

sealing time is 1 s. With the heat sealing part as the center line, clamp the two ends of

the specimen on the two fixtures of the test machine respectively, so that the

longitudinal axis of the specimen coincides with the center line of the upper and lower

processes that may affect product performance;

c) The inspection is carried out once a year during normal production;

d) When the production is resumed after being discontinued for more than half a

year;

e) When there is a significant difference between the factory inspection result

and the last type inspection result.

6.4 Judgment rules

6.4.1 Judgment of non-conforming items

If any one of the appearance and dimensional deviations is unqualified, the roll will be

judged as unqualified.

If there are unqualified items in the physical and mechanical properties test results,

double samples shall be taken in the original lot and the unqualified items shall be

retested. If the re-test results are still unqualified, the physical and mechanical

properties of this lot of films are unqualified.

If any one of the hygiene indicators is unqualified, the hygiene indicators will be judged

as unqualified.

6.4.2 Judgment of qualified lots

Appearance and dimensional deviations shall be judged according to Table 9.

If the test results of appearance, dimensional deviation, physical and mechanical

properties and hygiene indicators are all qualified, the lot is judged to be qualified.

7 Marking, packaging, transportation and storage

7.1 Marking

The product shall have a certificate of conformity and be marked with the product name,

specification, length, net weight, production date, inspection stamp, manufacturer name,

manufacturer address, and implementation standards; the outer packaging shall have

signs such as "Keep dry; Keep away from heat; Handle with care" and shall comply

with the provisions of GB/T 191.

7.2 Packaging

Each roll of film is protected with pads at both ends and packed with film. With both

ends plugged with plastic plugs, it shall he loaded into the box with the supporting of

plywood and tied tightly with plastic tape.

Special packaging is subject to agreement between the supplier and the buyer.

7.3 Transportation

It shall be handled with care during transportation to avoid mechanical collision and

exposure to sunlight and rain.
