Charter Films Adding W&H Line for Barrier Films

SUPERIOR, Wis.—Charter Films is installing a new Windmoeller & Hoelscher (W&H) blown film extrusion line capable of producing multi-layered coextruded barrier films. The line is scheduled to be in production in late December 2009.

Films that will be produced on the new extrusion line will allow the company to better serve its customers that use both monolayer and/or three-layer films, but also have more demanding packaging applications that require the use of barrier films to retard or prevent the passage of liquids, aromas, or gases.
