“This new cast film line is a testament to our unwavering commitment to innovation and collaboration. By enhancing our capabilities, we are better positioned to collaborate with our customers and deliver tailored solutions that meet their unique needs,” commented Mick Hundley, Director of Cincinnati Technology Center site of LyondellBasell.
Beyond stretch films, the line stands out for its remarkable flexibility. Thanks to interchangeable extruder screws and advanced processing features, it can produce complex structures including ethylene vinyl alcohol oxygen-barrier films.
The equipment also includes a dual-sided corona treatment to support downstream lamination or printing. The line can perform a wide thickness range, from 102 down to 10 microns.
While the line’s design and optimization for high-speed stretch-film production are particularly noteworthy, its versatility makes it an ideal platform for the development and testing of complex structures for applications such as food packaging and healthcare.
“We are proud to support LyondellBasell with this advanced cast film line. Collaborations like this allow us to bring our technology to the service of partners aiming to explore new structures, improve process efficiency, and accelerate time-to-market,” said Eraldo Peccetti, Executive President at COLINES.
