Polymer Film Handling & Conversion Expertise

materials

Films

Films are thin sheets of polymer used in applications like packaging, electronics, aerospace, medical, and electric vehicles. They can be used as a monolayer or made into a laminate or coated product.

commercial attributes

Film’s unique properties allow for a diverse range of applications. Films can have dramatically different characteristics which will affect how they can be used. Property differences will depend not only on chemical make-up but also on how they were processed.

  • Barrier Resistance
  • Flexibility
  • Strength
  • Transparency

Challenges

Each film will have its own properties and processing difficulties. Characterizing the properties that contribute to a defect is the first step toward robust resolution. Properties like stiffness, friction, width, glass transition temperature, surface energy, isotropy, and Poisson’s ratio can each affect line runnability.

  • Curl
  • Flatness
  • Static
  • Stretch
  • Winding
  • Wrinkle
