From hardware and materials through processing and properties, this book presents a broad coverage of blown film extrusion and ensures a useful balance of theory and practice. This book explains certain effects in the blown film process so readers are better able to troubleshoot and improve their operations. Also, current practices and equipment are emphasized to keep readers up-to-date with the most productive and efficient technology.
Companion CD : The Blown Film Extrusion Simulator enhances the learning process. This software was developed to teach blown film extrusion equipment operation and processing principles. The realistic graphic interface and intuitive operating techniques were designed to emulate processing methods so learners can quickly move from the simulator to real production equipment.
