Abstract
The bubble deformation behavior of double bubble tubular film (DBTF) of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) is experimentally analyzed. Also investigated is how the bubble deformation behavior of the stretched films are changed by stretching conditions, especially stretching temperature, and how the properties of stretched films are influenced by stretching conditions.
From the results, the optimum conditions required to obtain a stable bubble and good properties for the DBTF of LLDPE are indicated. The relationship between the DBTF and laboratory tenter stretched film (LTSF) is investigated in order to predict the processability and the properties of the DBTF by using the laboratory tenter biaxial stretcher. This method is not only more time efficient, but also reduces overall costs of developing the DBTF.
