Laminates
Our laminates are composite materials made up of multiple layers that are bonded together through a lamination process. In the packaging industry, laminates are used for printed films with intermediate layer printing or for specific requirements.
Characteristics of Laminates Films
- Multi-layered Structure: Often consist of various layers of plastics bonded to achieve specific properties.
- Strength and Durability: Combining varied materials results in high resistance to external factors such as oxygen, moisture, and mechanical stresses.
- Barrier Properties: In packaging, laminate films provide excellent barriers against oxygen, moisture, and light, which helps extend product shelf life.
- Flexibility and Formability: Depending on the materials used, laminates can be either flexible or rigid.
Materials Used in Laminates Films
- Plastics (e.g., PE, PET, PA, PP): Provide flexibility, sealability, and good barriers against moisture and gases. Additional functions like antifog, peelability, etc., are possible.
- Paper: Used in combination with plastics to add features such as oxygen barrier, antifog, peelability, resealability, coloring, and more.
Applications of Laminates Films
Food Packaging
- MAP packaging, vacuum packaging, stand-up pouches, and much more.
Medical Packaging
- Packaging for medicines, sterile devices, or medical products.
Advantages of Laminates Films
- Protection: Extends product shelf life, protecting against moisture, light, and oxygen.
- Versatile Designs: Laminated packaging offers high flexibility regarding printing and design.
- Lightweight and Robust: Despite their strength, many laminate films are lightweight and easy to process.
Summary
Laminated Films materials are crucial in many sectors and offer tailored solutions for specific requirements.
