Evaluate material thickness, composition, and performance through PLITEK®’s plastic film extrusion prototyping trials. Our process enables fast, low-cost prototype production—helping you determine the perfect film for your application with confidence.
When selecting materials for your product, every layer matters — and so does every prototype. Prototyping is a vital part of product development process, especially when it comes to film extrusion. Each version represents a critical step toward a successful launch. At PLITEK®, our plastic film extrusion trials are designed to optimize efficiency, reduce development risk, and validate film performance early in the process.
Streamlining Prototyping with PLITEK®‘s Plastic Film Extrusion Trials
Prototyping is a critical component in the product development process, especially when it comes to film extrusion. Our plastic film extrusion trials offer significant efficiency benefits for verifying material suitability and creating prototypes.
Here’s how our process delivers value:
- Comprehensive Evaluation: Our approach to plastic film extrusion trials is not just about producing the film; it’s about providing our customers with options for thorough testing. This comprehensive evaluation helps in assessing form, fit, and function, ensuring that the final product meets all the required specifications and performance criteria.
- Flexibility In-Trial Runs: We have a range of plastic film extruders, some of which are specifically designed for small runs. This flexibility enables customers to evaluate material specifications (like thickness, composition, or finish) without committing to large, expensive runs. Small minimum order quantities allow for experimentation and faster decision-making.
- Side-By-Side Material Testing: Need to test multiple formulations? Our process makes it easy. For example, when working with ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), performance can vary significantly based on vinyl acetate content. We help customers compare different material blends simultaneously to find the optimal balance of performance and cost each variant performs.
- Technical Guidance on Resins: Selecting the right resin can be complex. Our experts offer guidance based on your application—considering factors like melt flow index, bio-acetate content, and processing behavior. This is especially critical in applications like medical diagnostics or specialty films.
- Fast, Cost-Effective Prototyping: One of our plastic film extrusion lines is optimized for rapid prototyping, enabling multiple resin combinations to be evaluated quickly and cost-effectively. This accelerates development timelines and supports faster product launches, reduces costs, and accelerates the development process.
