Produces thin films by extruding molten polymer through an annular die, inflating with air, and cooling.

Blown Film Extrusion

Blown film extrusion is a continuous process for producing thin polymer films by extruding molten polymer through an annular die and inflating it with air to form a tubular bubble. This method is widely used for packaging materials, agricultural films, and industrial liners, utilizing polymers like LDPE, HDPE, and PP for their strength and flexibility.

Bioplastics, such as PLA and starch-based polymers, are increasingly used in blown film extrusion for applications like biodegradable single-use packaging and agricultural mulch films. These materials align with environmental regulations and consumer demand for sustainable solutions.
