The multimanifold die is about 21 in. deep--thicker than a single manifold--but it takes up less room overall because there's no feedblock, EDI says. Market interest is said to be growing because a multi-manifold die with automatic gauge control imparts more accurate layer control than a five-layer feedblock. It also controls layer width more accurately with deckles to keep sticky PP copolymers out of tenter clips in OPP OPP Opposite OPP Opportunity/Opportunities OPP Office of Pesticide Programs OPP Ontario Provincial Police (Ontario, Canada) OPP Office of Polar Programs (National Science Foundation) , for example.
