- Abstract
Many polymers are extruded through blown film dies to produce both monolayer and multilayer films. A common type of die in use today to produce blown films is the spiral mandrel die. This type of die can be used effectively for many polymers in structures containing up to approximately ten layers. This paper will discuss the development of new technology using a feedblock and layer multipliers in combination with encapsulation technology and a unique film die to produce microlayer blown film structures with significantly larger numbers of layers than can be produced using conventional blown film technology.
