Advances in Blown Film Conference.


December 7-8 2005 Miami, FL, USA

An intensive 2-day program devoted to technology developments in blown film ... learn how to extrude extrude /ex·trude/ (ek-strldbomacd´)
1. to force out, or to occupy a position distal to that normally occupied.

2. in dentistry, to occupy a position occlusal to that normally occupied.
 a better film with increased line speeds at a reduced cost!
