A focus on the future of the plastics industry 

If the isolating properties of plastics and a the extent of their resistance to electrical current are important to know, then the Hiresta-UX measuring device by Mitsubishi Chemical Analytech can help. As guaranteed by their sales partner N&H Technology GmbH, Willich, the system can quickly and exactly determine both the surface and the volumetric resistance of semi- and non-conductors in the high-resistance range from 1000 to 10 14 Ω*cm.

As already known since the previous K, “EVO Ultra Flat” from Reifenhäuser Blown Film GmbH, Worms, Germany, improves the flatness properties of blown film. A new laser-measurement system now enables the improvement to be quantified precisely: laminating and barrier films are up to 40  % flatter while sagging is reduced by up to 90  %. The measuring unit records the topography of the fine film web and then sets the correct production parameters. Reifenhäuser will be demonstrating at its booth how this ultra-flat measurement with integrated closed loop control functions.
