An improved method and an improved device for producing a monoaxially or biaxially stretched plastic film are distinguished, inter alia, by the following features: In the intermediate space (Z) tapering in a wedge shape to the contact line (111, 11′) between the melt film or plastic film (5, 5′) and the roller jacket (9) spaced apart therefrom or the roller surface (9′) spaced apart therefrom of the cooling roller (1, 1′), at least one device for preventing precipitation of condensate (K) in the intermediate space (Z) is used and is designed such that precipitation of condensate (a) on the underside (5a) of the melt film or plastic film (5, 5′) facing the roller jacket (9) or on the roller jacket (9) of the cooling roller (1, 1′) is prevented, and/or a condensate (K) which has precipitated there evaporates or vaporises, and/or condensate disposed in the intermediate space (Z) is transported away, suctioned off, or blown out and/or runs out to the side.

A high-barrier biodegradable Doypack and a preparation method therefor. The Doypack consists of two parts, a high-barrier biodegradable self-sealing strip and a five-layered composite high-barrier biodegradable Doypack body. The main base materials of the high-barrier biodegradable self-sealing strip are PLGA and PPC that have excellent barrier performance; and the five-layered composite high-barrier biodegradable Doypack body consists of single side glossy white Kraft paper, a bonding layer, a first barrier layer, a second barrier layer, and a heat-sealing layer, which are integrally formed by using a process combining four-layer co-extrusion and lamination. Compared to conventional non-degradable Doypacks, the high-barrier biodegradable Doypack is substantially equivalent in terms of the physical and mechanical performance and heat-sealing performance, but has a superior barrier performance, and is biodegradable.

The invention is related to film comprising a polypropylene composition showing improved coefficiency of friction as well as optical properties.

A line for producing a cast film is disclosed having a slot die, a chill roll, an electrode assembly, an insulator assembly, a sensor device, and a control device. The electrode assembly is arranged between an impingement area of the cast film on the chill roll and a removal area. The insulator assembly is arranged between the electrode assembly and the chill roll shell. The sensor device continuously determines the left and right cast film edge. According to the determined left and right cast film edge the control device moves the insulator assembly in such a way that the insulator assembly is arranged: a) between the left end face of the chill roll and the left cast film edge; and b) between the right end face of the chill roll and the right cast film edge.

This disclosure relates to an article that includes a nonwoven substrate, a first film supported by the nonwoven substrate, and a second film such that the first film is between the nonwoven substrate and the second film. The first film includes a first polymer and a pore-forming filler. The difference between a surface energy of the first film and a surface energy of the nonwoven substrate is at most about 10 mN/m. The second film includes a second polymer capable of absorbing and desorbing moisture and providing a barrier to aqueous fluids.

The invention relates to a method for the online monitoring of film quality during a production process for a plastic film, in particular a blown film or a continuously cast film, in which method the film material (1) is fed out of an outlet device (40) that is designed as a melt lug (4) by a transport device (10). The film material (1) cools on or in front of the transport device (10) and the film material (1) solidifies in front of or on the transport device (10).
