(Plastics today) -- Kuraray's
Research and Technical Center in Pasadena, TX has installed a Davis-Standard
cast coextrusion film-and-sheet pilot line for its EVAL group to test and
develop film structures from seven to 21 layers using a Cloeren NanoLayer feed
block. The custom-engineered line features five extruders and is capable of
producing cast film and sheet in thicknesses ranging from 1 to 60 mils (25 to
1524 microns) for applications in food packaging, medical, agricultural
fumigation, crop protection, and building and construction. The line is also
equipped with full gravimetric control via Davis-Standard's EPIC III supervisory
control system. Kuraray had existing coextrusion capabilities, including
technology for producing seven-layer blown film and multilayer PET/EVAL barrier
containers.
