Patent granted for biaxially stretched polypropylene film production
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11961683B2) discloses a method for producing a biaxially stretched polypropylene film with specific characteristics. The process involves preheating a cast roll stock sheet, stretching it in the machine direction, and then relaxing it to achieve a film with a thickness ranging from 1.0 µm to 3.5 µm. The resulting film exhibits a tensile fracture stress of 70 MPa or more at 135°C in a specific direction, along with controlled dimensional change rates at different temperatures. Additionally, the film has a crystallite size of 12.20 nm or less, making it suitable for applications such as capacitors.
Furthermore, the patent also covers the use of the biaxially stretched polypropylene film in a metallized film structure, where a metal layer is laminated onto the film. This metallized film can be further processed into a roll form for ease of handling and storage. The patent extends to film capacitors incorporating the metallized film, emphasizing the importance of the specific production method outlined in the claims to achieve desired mechanical and thermal properties. The method involves precise temperature and contact time parameters during preheating, stretching, and relaxing stages, ensuring the film meets the required tensile fracture stress criteria at different temperatures. Overall, the patent highlights a comprehensive approach to producing high-quality biaxially stretched polypropylene films with controlled characteristics for various industrial applications.
