Polypropylene is a polymer prepared catalytically from propylene which differs from HDPE by having an isostatic replacement of a hydrogen atom by a methyl group on alternate carbon atoms in the main chain.

Printed Polypropylene films for packing are produced using the latest technology and are particularly clear and glossy. Logos, symbols and messages can be printed on the film for specifications or personal use. Printing is done using a laser printer using a color ink.

Vulcan is a range of inks formulated for flexo and gravure printing on treated coextruded polypropylene films. Vulcan inks exhibit print qualities and adhesion when run on the modern high speed presses. These inks give moderate gloss but the gloss can be improved by application of heat resistant overcoat.

Applications
Printed Polypropylene films are widely used for packing of ice creams, groceries, confectionery, and bakery products. They are also used for garment packaging. Apart from all the typical applications of printed polypropylene films, they are used in a wide era of magnetic, industrial and capacitor applications.
