Films rétrécissables. [...] Les films ordinaires présentent déjà une certaine rétraction due à leur fabrication qui provoque un étirement, mais elle est insuffisante [...] Pour créer les tensions internes, on étire le film à une certaine température dans une ou deux directions. On donne ainsi au matériau un nouvel arrangement moléculaire que l'on fixe par refroidissement brusque. [...] Les propriétés optiques [...], physiques [...], mécaniques [...] sont souvent améliorées par ce traitement qui correspond en somme à l'étirage-trempage dans la métallurgie. Quant à la rétraction, elle est obtenue par élévation rapide de température qui libère les tensions précédemment bloquées, le matériau reprenant son arrangement antérieur. 3, record 1, French, - film%20r%C3%A9tr%C3%A9cissable
