James Lee Promax Tech Co., Ltd. James Lee Dimensional Stability Promax Tech Co., Ltd. James Lee How Does the Size of the Film Change? Support and coated layers change size with temperature – expansion and contraction Support and coated layers (especially gelatin) contain moisture Less water – shrinkage More water – expansion How Big Are the Changes? Temperature coefficient 0.0018 % per ° Celsius (18m/oC/1000mm) Humidity expansion coefficient (HEC) Double sided films (OM films) 0.0013% size change/ % RH change (13m/%RH/1000mm) Single sided films (ARD7, ABX7) 0.0009% size change/ % RH change (9m/ %RH/ 1000mm) Looking in More Detail Remember the figure for a double sided film – around 0.0013% size / % RH This is made up of: 0.0007 from the base (7m/%RH/1000mm) 0.0006 from the coated layers (6m/%RH/1000mm) Single sided film – around 0.0009% 0.0007 from the base (7m/%RH/1000mm) 0.0002 only from the coated layers (2m/%RH/1000mm) Factors Affecting Dimensional Stability Room temperature Relative humidity in the plotter and processing rooms RH of packaged film Emulsion and pelloid gelatin content Processing: Temperature of dryer Humidity in the dryer Drying time Proportion of negative or positive image (amount of silver – Ag increases the strength of the gelatin) How Do These Factors Affect Dimensional Stability? Temperature stability throughout the work flow is obviously important RH control is equally important Drying – Over drying over size Under drying under size Package RH Dimensional Stability in the Work Flow - Getting it Right What should the customer do to get good dimensional stability? Film should be preconditioned to plotter RH condition (overnight in single sheets) preconditioning in the stack is useless Environmental conditions (temperature[+/-0.5] and humidity [+/- 2%] should be closely controlled) Dryer temperature should be appropriate (see table) Laminator: Tension, Laminating speed, ect. Recommended drying temperatures Note lower temperatures
