Cosmo Films recently announced the launch of a low noise tape film used in making of low noise tapes.

The low noise tape film also takes significantly less release force as compared to a normal tape film. The film can easily take up any adhesive, be it water-based, solvent-based, rubber-based or hotmelt type.

However, we see huge potential for the film going forward as we see this feature as a great value addition. The product is available in clear and ultra-clear varieties and could be made available in different microns.”

Established in 1981, Cosmo Films is one of the global leaders and manufacturers of Bi-axially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) films used for packaging, labels and lamination applications.
