MDO-PE Films are polyethylene films that undergo a stretching process in one direction (machine direction) during manufacturing. This orientation enhances their mechanical strength, toughness, and dimensional stability. They can be produced with or without additional barrier layers, depending on specific application requirements.
There are two main types of MDO-PE Films:
- MDO-PE Films without Barrier Properties:These films are simpler in structure and are used where barrier protection is not critical.They find applications in general packaging, liners, and industrial uses where strength and durability are primary requirements.
- MDO-PE Films with Barrier Properties:These films include additional layers of barrier materials like EVOH to prevent the permeation of gases (such as oxygen, moisture) and aromas.They are crucial in applications requiring extended shelf life and protection of sensitive products like food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals.Manufacturing Process
The manufacturing of MDO-PE Films involves extrusion of polyethylene, followed by stretching in the machine direction to align polymer chains. Quality control throughout the process ensures consistent film properties and performance.
Advantages of MDO-PE Films
MDO-PE Films offer several advantages:
- Mechanical Properties: They exhibit excellent toughness, puncture resistance, and durability.
- Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications in food, pharmaceutical, industrial, and consumer goods sectors.
