Manufacture of the laminate for lids

 |
Alupol Packaging is launching the new laminate which is a base for making lids. The production process of the laminate takes place on a modern production line for coating and laminating on an aluminum foil type tandem extruder. Innovation of the project is, among others, for the achievement of optimum properties of the laminate in one part of the production operation. The new laminate structure of the Primer / Aluminium Foil / Coextrusion Plastic Layer with the characteristics of plastics allows, among others:
- reduce the risk of puncture of the lid and increase fault tolerance through improved mechanical properties
- reduce the risk of leaks in the seal of the cup
- increasing product protection against contact with aluminium foil - high corrosion resistance,
- elimination of residual solvents and thermo specific smell of lacquer
- eliminating the possibility of scrap aluminum remaining on the edge of the cup of plastic, which today is used in standard technologies and substantially complicates the recycling process of the container.
Laminate is ideal for flexographic and rotogravure printing. On packaging machines it can be used both as a web and single lids.
