Abstract

A method of blown film extrusion of polyolefins having high elongational viscosity which is independent of applied stress, and high melt strength wherein a first air ring is disposed adjacent an extrusion die to assist in the formation and stability of a stalk bubble configuration, and a second air ring is disposed downstream of the first air ring to assist in controlled expansion of the bubble at a point where the bubble has dissipated its melt elasticity.
