Cast films are made by extruding melted resin horizontally through a flat die to create a sheet of material that is pinned to a highly polished chilled roller by means of an air curtain or vacuum box. In the Cast Film process, the molten polymer is usually extruded through a slot die onto an internally cooled chill roll and then passes through a series of rollers which will determine the nature and properties of the cast film including thickness. The cast film is then cut as required by saws, shears or hot wire methods.
