We have multiple polymer film production machines for daily rent trial to customers to develop specialty film process and formulations under NDA:
1. Wet-solution based film casting using slot die (500 mm wide) or reverse comma coating (250 mm wide). Drying oven long from 2 m to 5 m. Polymer solution with appropriate viscosity can be cast on Mylar release carrier and solvents are vaporized when passing a long drying oven. Typical solvents include water, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, MIBK, etc.
2. Sheet Melt Extrusion: a 1.24" diameter single screw extruder (up to 300 C), a 12" adjustable flex-lip die (facing down), and a horizental three-roll sheet stack (three polished rollers). Can be used to produce polymer film and sheet from 100 um to 2000 um for formulation development
3. Polymer Film Extrusion: a 2.5" dismeter single screw extruder (up to 300 C) with melt pump, manual screen exchanger, and a vacuum feeding system. Flex-lip die is 700 mm wide facing down, two casting rollers. With inline X-Ray thickness scanner (Scantech).
4. Mono-axial (uni-axial) polymer film orientation MDO machine A: 11 rollers with width of 650 mm wide, 9 motors can be individually controlled speed, oil heaters up to 200 C. Line speed up to 5 m/min before stretching.
5. Mono-axial (uniaxial) polymer orientation MDO machine B: 6 rollers with width up to 1000 mm, speed and temperature of each can be individually controlled.
6. A 1000 mm wide slitter/rewinder.
7. Corona Treater (two surfaces) roll to roll.
8. Various polymer film characterization tool: DMA (modulus), Instron Tensile Test, DSC, FTIR, polarized optical microscope, thermal shrinkage, optical UV-VIS transparency, high voltage and dielectric (ASTM D149, D150, D257, D3755, etc)
Short lead time and flexible schedule at affordable cost.
