Quenching of polymeric film

摘要

In the electrostatic pinning of molten polymeric film, especially polyethylene terephthalate film, to a quenching drum, the insulators for those parts of the pinning electrode positioned outside the edges of the film are adjusted to follow the transverse fluctuations which may occur in the film edges so as to prevent sparking between the electrode and the margins of the quenching drum outside the film edges.
