Water-quench blown film line - extrusion turned up-side-down YOUR ADVANTAGES High transparency, gloss and puncture resistance Eliminated curling for asymetric barrier film Outstanding film qualities Very stable process High amorphous films FILM APPLICATIONS: EXAMPLES Consumer Packaging: with food-contact Consumer Packaging: non-food Specialties, like thermoforming film, barrier film, Infusion Bags, Medical Packaging, Oil Film, Milk Packaging, Frozen Food Packaging AQUAREX - WATER-QUENCH BLOWN FILM LINE - EXTRUSION TURNED UP-SIDE-DOWN AQUAREX turns blown film production upside down and changes the typical structure of a blown film line. It extrudes downwards and uses water instead of air as cooling medium. The use of water allows extremely fast cooling of the melt, a low degree of crystallization and an extremely amorphous film structure. The result is a film with a striking gloss, high transparency and exceptional puncture and tear resistance. These properties could formerly only be achieved by PVC extrusion or - to a limited degree - on cast film lines. AQUAREX thus opens up completely new applications for PE materials in the packaging sector and scores with its user-friendly handling.
