New Technology To Process Nano Blown Films Unveiled by Dow at Antec
New Technology To Process Nano Blown Films Unveiled by Dow at Antec
Schematic shows line configuration used by Dow to create blown film with 100+ layers. Once
material is fed through the feedblock and flow divider, it goes to an encapsulation die then to
a specially designed manifold within the film die.
Active microlayer system from EDI relies on tooling that first forms a multilayer sandwich of
barrier, adhesive, and active-component materials from three extruders, then multiplies that
layer structure before combining it with two outer or skin layers of material from a fourth
extruder.
