Title:
IMPROVED MELT EXTRUSION PROCESSES AND FILMS PRODUCED THEREBY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1997045244
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for melt extruding a film layer of a thermoplastic olefin which comprises extruding the film having physical characteristics under process conditions selected by reference to the Draw ratio Dr and the Aspect ratio A such that draw resonance is avoided in which in addition the process conditions are defined by reference to the Deborah number such that the molten polymer is extruded at a Draw ratio of at least 30 in a high elasticity region at a DOLLAR (g)lc value of characteristic time as defined herein of from 0.001 to 0.6 s, a Deborah number as defined herein in excess of 0.005 and an A value as defined herein lower than 0.8. Narrower ranges of these parameters may be defined for application of the invention to different polymer types. 00000
