Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for producing a polymer film (P) comprising a polyamide composition (PC) by extruding the polyamide composition (PC) through an annular die and then stretching the tube thus obtained by blowing in air. The present invention further relates to the polymer film (P) obtainable by the process of the invention and to a process for packaging foodstuffs with the polymer film (P).
Claims16
A process for producing a polymer film (P) comprising a polyamide composition (PC), wherein the polyamide composition (PC) comprises nylon-6/6,6 and polyamide oligomers and where it is possible to extract in the range from 5% to 25% by weight, based on the total weight of the polyamide composition (PC), of polyamide oligomers from the polyamide composition (PC) according to ISO 6427:
- 2013, the process comprising:
- i) providing the polyamide composition (PC) in molten form in a first extruder,
- ii) extruding the polyamide composition (PC) provided in i) in molten form from the first extruder through an annular die to obtain a tube comprising the polyamide composition (PC) in molten form,
- iii) cooling the tube comprising the polyamide composition (PC) in molten form obtained in ii) in a water bath to a first temperature (T1), which solidifies the polyamide composition (PC) to obtain a first tubular film comprising the polyamide composition (PC),
- iv) heating the first tubular film obtained in iii) to a second temperature (T2) to obtain a heated first tubular film comprising the polyamide composition (PC),
- v) blowing air into the heated first tubular film obtained in iv), which stretches the heated first tubular film widthwise, and where the heated first tubular film is cooled to a third temperature (T3) to obtain the polymer film (P) comprising the polyamide composition (PC).
