  • PET/PETG
  • PLA
  • PHA
  • PEEK
  • PVDF
  • PTFE
  • Other fluoropolymers
  • PA (Nylons)
  • EVA
  • EVOH
Typical Products
  • Cast film and sheet, monolayer and multilayer
  • Uniaxial and biaxial oriented substrates
  • Barrier films
  • Shrink labels and sleeves
  • Capacitor dielectric films
  • Battery separator membranes
  • Breathable membranes
  • Optical films
  • Opaque cavitated films
  • Other specialty films
Key Filters Advanced Melt Filtration Lab: This lab provides testing opportunities for different polymers with various screen changers. It includes a complete 2 1/2” single screw pelletizing extrusion line for testing material and filter combinations with continuous screen filtration capabilities.
Key Features
  • KCN Continuous Belt technology for constant and uniform extrusion pressure
  • Applications in all extrusion processes including pipe and profile, film, sheet, compounding, and blow molding
  • KSP Hydraulic Slide Plates for applications allowing brief process interruptions
  • MSC/CSC Manual Slide Plates for economical process shutdowns
