BOPP specialist Treofan won a trophy at the 1st European Plastics Innovation Awards for its “PHD 1.9” ultra-thin capacitor film. The first European capacitor film thinner than 2μm, developed in partnership with chemicals and plastics producer Borealis, took home the award for Best Lightweight Innovation. Treofan and Borealis worked together intensely to optimize the molecular structure of the award-winning new solution. In parallel to this, improvements were made to the specialized production line at Treofan’s Neunkirchen site. Further enhancements are planned, with the goal of producing even thinner and more efficient films in the medium term.
