Film Properties
Film Properties
(OP)
Hi,
I am looking to obtain a film with the following properties and was hoping you all might help me out.
1) Optically and X-ray transparent
2) Non-oriented polymer
3) Good vapoer barrier properties
4) Can be embossed while still maintaining these properties
5) Ideally 50-25 microns (0.002"-0.001" thick
Any suggestions about what would suite these needs and where to obtain it?
Thanks in adavance,
Brek

RE: Film Properties
Good barrier to what vapour. Different polymers are good to different vapours. To get good barrier to everything with reasonable physical properties you might need a co-extruded film.
The list of transparent to visible light films is very large.
I do not have a list of transparent to X-ray, but such lists exist, posibly on matweb

Any could be embossed to some degree, but it might effect different properties as it might anneal that embossed area.
When you say transparent, do you mean passes light or passes light with no significant scattering.
