What Is a Cast Film?
Cast film is a type of thin film produced by casting molten plastic materials into a flat mold, where they cool and solidify.
The process involves mixing the plastic raw materials with additives, melting the mixture at high temperatures to a liquid state, and then pouring it into a flat mold. As the material cools and solidifies, it forms a solid film, which is then peeled from the mold and wound onto rolls. The shape of the mold determines the film’s final form, allowing for versatility in production.
Cast film technology is integral to producing optical films, electronic materials, packaging films, and labels. It stands out for its high transparency, precise thickness control, and smooth surface, offering superior optical properties and processability, ideal for various applications, including those requiring optical clarity.
