Blown film extrusion line AQUAREX

• High transparency, gloss and puncture resistance • Eliminated curling for asymetric barrier film • Outstanding film qualities • Very stable process • High amorphous films 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.
