The polyethylene industry has been in the midst of major
restructuring and rationalization. This has lead to joint ventures
and alliances to combine technologies and exploit opportunities to
maximize improvements in process productivity, catalyst
innovations, and enhancements in extrusion technology and
converting.
This comprehensive study of the polyethylene film extrusion
process describes this technology in detail. In depth descriptions
of the manufacturing processes for polyethylene homopolymers and
copolymers, including metallocenes, are reviewed. All aspects of
machine design with particular emphasis on screws and dies
including coextrusion are discussed comprehensively. With computer
modeling, the interactions between equipment and polymer are
quantified.
All aspects of equipment design and polymer features that
control melt fracture, interfacial instabilities, gauge control,
output and temperature, and cooling of blown and cast film
processes are presented quantitatively. This methodology will
highlight solutions in troubleshooting for optimum design and
operation and the best available polymer and formulation
choices.
All polyethylene film applications in packaging, agriculture,
lamination, and construction, consumer, industrial, and health care
are reviewed and discussed in depth.
