Nylon film is a transparent, non-heat stabilized plastic film. it absorbs water. The higher the moisture content , more flexible it becomes. At low moisture levels flexibility is reduced. Their outstanding sealing characteristic helps maintain the quality of the contents.

Features
Nylon films offer excellent thermal and chemical resistance, with high tensile strength, flexibility and tear resistance. They are also abrasion and puncture resistant and are fully recyclable. These films enable easy monitoring and act as effective microbial barrier. Available printed with heat-sensitive inks that allow for immediate indication of temperature reached during the autoclaving process. They also offer low oxygen and odor permeability and strong cold temperature properties.

These films exhibit a lower elastic module while retaining its tensile strength and heat stability. The clarity of the film optimizes visibility of contained products through the film. They have good release qualities for ease of removal in curing applications.

Spontaneous Electric Current from Film
Nylon films during the process of preparation form a mechano-electret. The polarizing species responsible for the formation of such mechano-electrets are believed to be dipoles and space charges embedded in the film. Dissimilar electrodes used give rise to an electro-galvanic effect in the films.

Applications: Nylon Films and Packaging
Natural Nylon films are ideal for use in a variety of food packaging applications. They perform well as a vacuum bagging film for the molding of critical composite parts in the production of aircraft parts. They allow a wide range of applications including drum liners, solvent recovery bags, and environmental disposal bags. They are also available in custom-sized sheets for use in a variety of shielding and overwrap applications.

These films are used as cast acrylic molds and bulk molding compound bags. They are also used in the sterilization of medical and dental instruments. They can be used to wrap electronic conductors on flat cables and printers. They are also found laminated to LDPE films. Nylon films are used to produce various products like

• Packaging pouches
• Pharma packaging
• Aluminum foils
• Packaging bags
• Dairy packaging etc.
