A monomer is a single structure and has low moleculer weight, while a polymer consists of several monomers and appears like plastic such as shellac and varnish.A polymer has higher molecular weight. Polymers don't always look like plastic--wood and cotton are both polymers. Rubber is also a polymer.

What is the difference between polyester film and bopp film?

Polyester film (BOPET) and BOPP film are both widely used in flexible packaging, but they differ in material properties and applications. Polyester film offers higher heat resistance, dimensional stability, tensile strength, and durability, making it suitable for applications requiring strong mechanical and thermal performance. BOPP film, made from biaxially oriented polypropylene, is lightweight, moisture-resistant, transparent, and cost-effective. It is commonly used for food packaging, labels, lamination, and wrapping products. Metalized Bopp Film is a specialized version of BOPP film with a thin metallic coating, usually aluminum. This coating improves its barrier properties against moisture, light, and oxygen while providing an attractive metallic appearance. Kingchuan Packaging supplies different flexible packaging films to meet various packaging requirements. The best choice depends on the product, packaging conditions, and desired performance.
