Flat Dies withstand exposure to HCl.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 08:34:32 -0500

Flat dies with DuraCoat(TM) coating withstand most attacks from corrosive hydrochloric acid (HCl) generated in course of extruding PVC. Coating forms thin film on steel surface of die that has no effect on features machined into flow surfaces. Solution is insolubile in most acids and bases, and also withstands burn-outs without damage.

Motorized Dual Deckle automates width changes.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 07:49:11 -0500

Featuring spring-loaded external segment, Motorized Dual Deckle minimizes or eliminates manual adjustment. It combines internal deckle, which blocks flow with blades from manifold to die lips, and external deckle, which seals off die gap from outside. AC motor drives external deckle and primary internal deckle as single unit, while smaller motor drives secondary internal deckle that fine-tunes flow at either end of die, minimizing formation of edge bead.

Flat Die System uses Dow's Layer Multiplier design.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Thu, 03 Aug 2006 08:32:45 -0500

Integrating layer multiplier technology into custom-engineered system that includes die, feedblock, and other tooling components, Flat Die System distributes complex structure into finished extrudate. It produces films and coatings with greater number of layers than conventional coextrusions, yielding microlayer structures that optimize moisture and gas barrier, and encapsulate gels and un-melts. With greater number of layers, likelihood of breakage caused by pinholes in film is minimized.
