Biaxial stretching of film is used for a range of applications. Many productsranging from food packaging, to packages for fresh cut produce are produced by this process. The first set of chapters review the fundamental principles ofbiaxial stretching. Emphasis is placed on the techniques of the technology, as well the different types of polymers used. The second collection of chaptersexamine applications for the process, including product labels, snack packaging and synthetic paper. The book includes a discussion of future applications for biaxial stretching of film. ÍNDICE: Part 1 Fundamental principles of biaxial stretching: Fundamentals of biaxial stretching and definitions of terms; Equipment design and requirements of biaxially stretched films; Laboratory evaluations of biaxially stretched films; Polyolefins used in biaxial stretched films; Other polymers used for biaxial films; Biaxial film structures; Typical industrial processes for the biaxial orientation of films; Post-production processing of biaxially oriented films; Strain energy function and stress-strain model for uniaxial and biaxialorientation of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET); Academic investigations ofbiaxially stretched films; Biaxial stretched polyamide film. Part 2 Applications of biaxial films: Fresh cut produce packaging and the use of biaxial stretched films; Biaxial stretched films for use in snack packaging; Biaxially stretched films for product labelling; Applications of biaxial stretched films; Future trends for biaxially oriented films and orienting lines
