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]
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.
The distance from the die is called the height of the frost line. It depends on various factors, including the melt temperature, the speed of cooling, the extrusion speed, and the diameter of the bubble. The notion is important, since the higher the frost line, the more difficult to control the uniformity of the film thickness.
Sheet/film extrusion is used to extrude plastic sheets or films that are too thick to be blown. There are two types of dies used: T-shaped and coat hanger. The purpose of these dies is to reorient and guide the flow of polymer melt from a single round output from the extruder to a thin, flat planar flow.
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.
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. It was. first developed in the ...
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 ...
