Product Highlights

Biplex® is the ideal industrial packaging material. It stands out due to its excellent properties and protects your goods better. Biplex® is resistant to moisture, greases and most chemical agents. It is naturally strong and tear resistant. By micro-perforating Biplex®, condensation can easily be evacuated. Biplex® is ideal for converting into a wide variety of die-cut shapes, ranging from interlayers with rounded corners to complex foldable boxes. Biplex® is perfect for temporary protection. Biplex® is extruded from a polypropylene copolymer and is available in sheets or on rolls.
