Types of lamination methods in flexible packaging
The achievement of multilayer structures has enabled us to enhance the application of plastic materials for food packaging. Sometimes, there is no single material that meets all the requirements necessary to preserve a product. Therefore, combining different materials with varying properties and functionalities makes it possible to provide an optimal […]
Polyurethane laminate adhesive
Polyurethane laminate adhesive is applied as a single layer on various types of packaging, including cardboard and plastic, which enhances the strength of the packaging. Laminate adhesives are typically used in the production of flexible packaging. They are effective in creating a strong bond between two surfaces, allowing for the […]
Introduction to doctor blade for printing
The doctor blade, also known as a metering blade, is a tool used in various industries, particularly in printing and coating applications. It is a thin, flat strip made from metal, plastic, or composite materials that is used to remove excess ink, coating, or other liquids from a surface. Taknam […]
The impact of corona on flexible packaging film lamination
Basic principles of corona treatment Corona treatment is a type of electric shock treatment that enhances the adhesion of the substrate surface. The purpose of corona treatment is to alter the surface energy of various substrates and facilitate their bonding with printing inks, coating materials, and laminating adhesives. Taknam Keyhan […]

Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)
What is thermoplastic polyurethane? Thermoplastic polyurethane, or TPU for short, is a linear block copolymer made up of hard and soft segments. Soft segment (polyether or polyester): This segment is made from polyols and isocyanates, providing flexibility and the elastomeric properties of TPU. Hard segment (aromatic or aliphatic): This segment […]
What is Cellophan?
The first flexible film Is cellophane, a thin and transparent sheet made from regenerated cellulose. Its low permeability to air, oils, greases, bacteria, and liquid water makes it useful for food packaging. However, cellophane is highly permeable to water vapor, which can be mitigated by coating it with nitrocellulose lacquer. […]
