Did You Know? PVC was first made 'unintentionally' in 1872 by German chemist Eugen Baumann. He exposed vinyl chloride gas sealed in a tube to sunlight and produced a white solid called PVC. In 1913, German chemist Friedrich Klatte received the first patent for polymerizing PVC using sunlight. www.sizavusi.com +268 7688 0849 sales@sizavusi.com #SizavusiInvestments #SizavusiPipingSystems #eSwatiniPiping

Biaxially oriented polypropylene film (BOPP) I recently conducted tests on BOPP film from both imported and Indian sources and observed the following results: 1. The film may contain various additives. 2. Higher levels of low molecular weight content can lead to lower film quality. 3. Different grades of film may be available depending on cost. 4. The film may contain a high percentage of recycled material. These factors can lead to variations in the properties of the film.
