Surface treatment systems are available for virtually any surface format including dimensional objects, sheets and roll goods that are handled in a web format. Corona treatment is a widely used surface treatment method in the plastic film, extrusion, and converting industries. [1] [2]
Extrusion coating is the coating of a molten web of synthetic resin onto a substrate material. It is a versatile coating technique used for the economic application of various plastics , notably polyethylene , onto paperboard , corrugated fiberboard , paper , aluminium foils , cellulose , Non-wovens , or plastic films .
Plastics extrusion is a high-volume manufacturing process in which raw plastic is melted and formed into a continuous profile. Extrusion produces items such as pipe/tubing, weatherstripping, fencing, deck railings, window frames, plastic films and sheeting, thermoplastic coatings, and wire insulation.
A simple cross-section schematic of the slot-die coating process. Slot-die coating is a coating technique for the application of solution, slurry, hot-melt, or extruded thin films onto typically flat substrates such as glass, metal, paper, fabric, plastic, or metal foils.
Melt Extrusion: The process begins with a polymer resin being melted and extruded through a spinneret, which is a device with tiny holes. High-Speed Airflow : Simultaneously, high-speed hot air or gas is blown onto the extruded polymer streams.
Film thickness and blow-up ratio can be varied by altering the take-up rate of the rollers, the internal pressure in the blown tube, and the melt extrusion rate. As the film is drawn upwards, it is cooled by a ring of air blowers so that the melt first becomes an amorphous viscoelastic solid, and then a semicrystalline solid, at what is known ...
A film blowing machine involves one process used to make plastic film. Extruded tubular processing is most often used with polyethylene films but can be used with other polymers. [ 1 ] The film may be laminating film, shrink film , agricultural covering film, bags or film for textiles and clothing , and other packaging materials.
Plastic films are usually thermoplastics and are formed by melting for forming the film. [2] Cast – Plastics extrusion can cast film which is cooled or quenched then wound up on a roll. Extruded film can be stretched, thinned, or oriented in one or two directions. Blown or tubular process forces air into an extruded ring to expand the film ...
