MDO (Machine Directional Orientation of Film) is a proven technology that saves resources, improves film properties and optimises films for specific applications.
With Wiederhall's MDO technology, both cast and blown films can be unidirectionally stretched on or off-line. The process improves barrier properties, resulting in mono-extruded and co-extruded films with higher tensile strength and stiffness, better shrinkage properties, and enhanced gloss and clarity.
Improved MDO film properties can lead to significant resource savings while reducing the use of expensive raw materials, especially for barrier films. Using less material is ultimately good for the environment and good for the bottom line.
