In the dry process, polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE) is extruded into a thin sheet which is then annealed at 10-25 °C below the polymer melting point such that crystallite size and orientation are controlled. The sheet is then rapidly stretched in the machine direction to achieve slit-like pores or voids at 35-45% porosity.
