Multilayer Blown Film Technology in Nigeria

Multilayer Blown Film Technology in Nigeria

Adroit Extrusion is reliable Manufacturer, Supplier and Exporter of Multilayer Blown Film Technology in Nigeria.

Our Manufacturing unit is based in Kheda, Gujarat, India.

Multilayer blown film technology uses the co-extrusion process to combine multiple layers of polymer resins into a single, high-performance film.

Each layer serves a unique function—providing strength, barrier protection, flexibility, or optical clarity—depending on the application.

By carefully selecting and layering different polymers, manufacturers can engineer films with a precise blend of properties, such as superior barrier performance, mechanical strength, heat resistance, and sealability.

This level of customization makes multilayer blown films ideal for a wide range of industries, from food and pharmaceuticals to agriculture and industrial packaging.

Types of Multilayer Blown Film Technology

1. 3-Layer Blown Film Line

  • Most common multilayer system.
  • Ideal for packaging that requires moderate barrier properties and strength.
  • Perfect for shrink films, lamination films, and general-purpose packaging.

2. 7/5-Layer Barrier

  • Offers improved flexibility in combining different polymer properties.
  • Suitable for high-barrier packaging used in food, pharmaceutical, and agro-industries.
  • Enables better moisture and oxygen resistance.

3. 5-Layer POD

  • Advanced film structure for premium applications.
  • Excellent for vacuum packaging, stretch hood films, and barrier films.
  • Provides outstanding strength and environmental resistance.

Features of Multilayer Blown Film Technology

  • High Barrier Properties – Protects against oxygen, moisture, and contaminants.
  • Superior Film Strength – Enhanced puncture and tear resistance.
  • Excellent Clarity and Gloss – Visually appealing films ideal for branding.
  • Material Optimization – Reduce raw material usage while improving performance.
  • Recyclable & Eco-Friendly Options – Sustainable packaging solutions.
  • Versatility in Applications – Adaptable for food, agriculture, and industrial packaging.

How Does Multilayer Blown Film Technology Work?

In multilayer blown film extrusion, separate extruders melt and combine multiple polymer resins through a co-extrusion process.

The extruders blow these layers together through a circular die, forming a single multilayer tubular film.

Step-by-Step Process:

  1. Feeding: Multiple extruders feed different resins (e.g., LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, EVOH, Nylon).
  2. Melting: The extruders melt the resins into a homogeneous state.
  3. Co-Extrusion: Molten polymers pass through a circular die, forming distinct layers.
  4. Blowing: A stream of air inflates the tube like a balloon.
  5. Cooling: The film is rapidly cooled to solidify the structure.
  6. Haul-Off & Winding: The machine flattens, trims, and winds the cooled film onto rolls.

This process ensures the film has customizable properties in each layer, giving you total control over strength, flexibility, transparency, and barrier performance.

Uses of Multilayer Blown Film in Nigeria

Multilayer blown films have widespread industrial and commercial uses in Nigeria, especially in sectors like:

Food Packaging

  • High-barrier films for snacks, grains, frozen food, and dairy.

Agricultural Films

  • Mulch films, greenhouse covers, silage wraps.

Pharmaceutical Packaging

  • Tamper-proof, contamination-resistant barrier films.

Lamination Films

  • Used in flexible packaging industries for chips, sauces, and powdered goods.

Shrink and Stretch Films

  • Pallet wrapping, product bundling, and logistics protection.

Industrial Packaging

  • Packaging for lubricants, chemicals, and building materials.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is Multilayer Blown Film Technology?

Multilayer blown film technology is a process where multiple layers of plastic are extruded together to form a film with enhanced properties like strength, flexibility, and barrier resistance.

Why is multilayer film better than single-layer film?

Multilayer films allow you to combine the best properties of different polymers—such as strength, barrier protection, and flexibility—into one film, making them ideal for demanding packaging needs.

Is multilayer film recyclable?

Yes, many multilayer films can be designed using recyclable resins, especially when using mono-material combinations. Adroit Extrusion promotes eco-friendly multilayer film solutions in Nigeria.

What materials are used in multilayer blown film?

Common materials include LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, EVA, EVOH, Nylon, and mLLDPE. The combination depends on the application.

Can multilayer film machines be customized for local needs?

We offer customized multilayer blown film lines to suit the specific needs of Nigerian industries, including tropical climate performance and power optimization.
