Description
A comprehensive and highly practical survey of the materials, hardware, processes and applications of flexible plastic films.
Aimed
at a wide audience of engineers, technicians, managers, purchasing agents and users, Multilayer Flexible Packaging provides
a thorough introduction to the manufacturing and applications of flexible plastic films, covering:
- Materials
- Hardware
and Processes
- Multilayer film designs and applications
The materials coverage includes detailed sections on polyethylene,
polypropylene and additives. The dies used to produce multilayer films are explored in the hardware section, and the process engineering
of film manufacture explained, with a particular focus on meeting specifications and targets. The section includes unique coverage of
the problematic area of bending technology, providing a unique explanation of the issues involved in the blending of viscoelastic non-Newtonian
polymeric materials.
