Heat-shrinkable materials films

Thermoplastic Films. Recently, thermoplastic film [1342,1343] materials have been developed to reduce the proppant flowback that can occur after fracturing treatments. A heat-shrinkable film cut into thin slivers provides flowback reduction over broad temperature ranges and closure stress ranges... 

Heat-shrinkable sheets (thickness 0.040 to 0.120 in., or 1-3 mm) and films (thickness 0.001 to 0.020 in., or 0.025 to 0.5 mm) are fabricated from many of the same materials as shrinkable tubing. They are produced by extrusion as a tube, sheet, or blown film. Irradiation is done by the equipment shown... 

An example system is PVC and polyethylene wire and cabling irradiated to improve stresscracking resistance, abrasion resistance, high-temperature properties and flame retardance, via controlled electron-beam crosslinking (Loan, 1977). Additionally electron-beam crosslinking is utilized to impart memory into a polymer system, such as crosslinked PE materials for heat-shrinkable films and pipe applications (Baird, 1977). The control of electron-beam processing has advanced the quality of cell size and shape of PE foams via control of crosslink distribution (Paterson, 1984). 

Slot liners, for example, are used in motor and generator construction to separate and insulate coils of magnet wire from the slot walls in the steel stator, and films are also used to separate different coils of wire from one another (phase separation) in motors. For these applications, materials with good electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties are required. Special grades are applied in capacitors and heat-shrinkable tubing. 

Antistatic packaging materials come in a variety of forms, including Him, foam, bubble wrap, and containers. ESD films in heat-shrinkable form are designed to minimize static generation by friction within the bag, as well as transmission of static charges from outside the bag. These materials are often tinted pink as a visible signal of their antistatic properties.
