Stretch film production common problems and solutions

Table of Contents

ProblemPossible causesSolutions
The film is not sticky enoughThe base resin may contain an opening agent and a slip agentChoose the resin without opening and smooth agent; the density is less than 0.923.
The inflation ratio is too smallRecommended inflation ratio: 2.5-3.
The cooling air temperature is too high1) reduce the cooling air temperature, or increase the air volume. The cold air outside the factory is used in winter; the air is cooled by air-conditioning in summer and then used again.
2) increase the height of the traction roller as much as possible and increase the cooling time of the film bubble.
3) adding the inner cooling device of the membrane bubble.
The processing temperature is too lowThe head temperature should be higher than 220 ° C.

The film does not have enough storage time
Tackifiers produce stickiness within 72 hours of production or longer (depending on storage temperature).
The crystallinity of the film is too highThe tackifying layer can add 10% of the non-open lubricant LDPE to help tackifying agent PIB precipitation.
Stretch film appears size headPW60 & PW66 high dosage, membrane volume storage room temperature is high and poor ventilation1) the PIB precipitates easily in summer, and the viscosity-increasing dose is 2% less than that in winter.
2) the recommended temperature of the film coil storage room is 7 ° C-30 ° C.
3) the film roll should be stored on the pallet, and pay attention to keeping ventilated.
Too tight or too loose tension in windingAdjust winding tension to moderate
PW60 & PW66 high volume film volume standing storageChange the storage mode when the amount of tackifier is high
The film rolls are too thickReduce winding length to a minimum (500M)
Rewinding
Poor transparencyThe dispersion of tackifier in LLDPE is not goodRaise the melt temperature
The processing temperature is too lowRaise the processing temperature
The cooling air temperature is too highReduce the cooling air temperature, increase the airflow, or add a bubble cooling device
Add 10% or more of LDPE without an open-mouth lubricant.
