Cosmo Films, a global leader in specialty films for packaging, labeling, synthetic paper, and lamination applications recently launched metalized electrical grade BOPP films for capacitor application. These Fflms are used for capacitor manufacturing of various types of AC and DC capacitors. These capacitors have diverse applications ranging from electronics appliances, industrial applications, power electronics, automobiles, electric vehicles, renewable power systems, etc.
The metalized capacitor-grade films will be manufactured under clean room conditions with micro-slitting capability and thickness ranging from 2.5 microns to 12 microns. Speaking on the launch, Kulbhushan Mallik, global business head, Cosmo Films, said, “We, at Cosmo First, have proudly pioneered industry-first solutions for the past four decades. This strategic move aligns perfectly with Cosmo Film’s vision of strengthening our global leadership in specialty films through innovative and sustainable solutions.”
Presently, there is a substantial reliance on imports of electrical-grade capacitor films, primarily sourced from countries like China. Given the increasing demand for high-quality capacitor-grade films, there exists substantial potential for these films in both domestic and export markets. The current annual installed capacity for these metalized films stands at approximately 750 metric tons. Cosmo Films aims to enhance and expand its capabilities in this product category to meet the growing demand and contribute to the self-reliance goals outlined by the government.
