Microspan® Stretching Machines
Biax stretching (microspanning) machines offer the highest stretching capabilities with greater uniformity, achieving desired breathability and/or drapability. This process can improve the strength, appearance and feel of film or fabrics. Both machine direction (MD) and cross direction (CD) capabilities are offered.
Biax-Fiberfilm's name originated with our unique stretching machine. It is derived from biaxially stretching fibers and films. The industry recognizes the term "ring-rolling" which was invented at Biax-Fiberfilm Corporation more than 35 years ago. Check out the many advantages of our Microspan® Stretching Machines:
Cross Direction (CD) - Stretch capabilities up to 6X. Machine widths up to 3.5 Meter.
Machine Direction (MD) - Stretch capabilities up to 4X. Machine widths up to 3.5 Meter.
Uniformity - Stretches your film or fabric uniformly, regardless of the basis weight variations.
Small Footprint - Only one-tenth the size of a tenter frame.
Breathability - Achieve targeted degree of breathability (MVTR #).
Drapability - The drapability as well as softness and hand can be increased as desired.
Pilot CD and MD machines are available at our facility for your research & development testing needs.
