| 20110151217 | Oriented Film Produced In-Process for Use in the Power Stretch Film Market - The present disclosure describes compositions, devices, systems, and methods for producing films which simplify the application process by eliminating the need to stretch film before it is wrapped around a load. Such films also provide enhanced load containment and increased resistance to punctures and breaks. In particular, the present disclosure relates to the use of selected resins and an angled die to increase the level of orientation in the film as it is formed. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110151216 | Cast Power Stretch Films With Improved Load Containment Force - The present disclosure generally relates to compositions and methods for incorporating higher density metallocene linear low density polyethylene (m-LLDPE) into cast power stretch films. When compared to conventional machine films on a gauge-by-gauge basis, films containing the properly selected m-LLDPE may offer increased load containment force, reduced application force, and comparable elongation and puncture resistance properties. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20100015422 | Oriented Film Produced In-Process for Use in the Stretch Film Market - Pre-stretched films may be used to increase the rate at which loads can be wrapped and to minimize the exertion required when using conventional stretch films. However, pre-stretched films must generally be stretched in a separate step and stored for several days in order for cling to fully develop. The present disclosure describes compositions, devices, systems, and methods for producing film that eliminate the stretching and storage steps. In particular, the present disclosure relates to the use of selected resins and an angled die to increase the level of orientation in the film as it is formed, thus eliminating the need to stretch the film in a separate step. The present disclosure also relates to the use of a cling agent which eliminates the storage time traditionally required to develop the film's cling properties. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100015393 | Apparatus and Method for Folding Film Edges - Pre-stretched films may be used to increase the rate at which loads can be wrapped and to minimize the exertion required when using traditional handheld film. However, the edges of pre-stretched films are easily damaged, which may result in tearing or failure of the film during use. The present disclosure describes devices, systems, and methods for folding the edges of the film, resulting in a film that is less susceptible to damage and easier to use. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100012764 | Apparatus and Method for Winding Film Onto a Film Roll - An issue with conventional stretch films is that the edges of the film can be easily damaged, which may result in tearing or failure of the film during use. Folding the film edges may reduce such damage but yields uneven rolls of film that are difficult to unwind. The present disclosure describes in-process devices, systems, and methods for oscillating the film to prevent stacking of the folded edges as the film is wound onto a film roll. The present disclosure also describes in-process devices, systems, and methods for entrapping air between the layers of film as they are wound onto a film roll. As a result, the film is less susceptible to damage and easier to use. | 01-21-2010 |
