Influence of Polymer Processing Additives on the Surface, Mechanical, and Optical Properties of LLDPE Blown Film, 1993 Polymers, Laminations & Coatings Conference Proceedings

Thomas J. Blong, Donald F. Klein, A. V. Pocius, Mark Strobel

Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) film was blown from both wide and narrow die gaps, with and without two commercial polymer processing additives. Wide die-gap extrusion was used to determine how the physical presence of either processing additive affected various mechanical and optical properties of the resultant films. Narrow die-gap extrusion demonstrated how polymer processing additives can be utilized to improve extrusion parameters and improved properties. Finally, all films were analyzed, both prior to and after corona treating, and monitored over a one year period to determine if either processing additive influenced the surface chemistry, surface morphology, or wettability of the films.
