The room-temperature-laminating polyolefine (PE or PP) film is intended to open up new processing fields for laminators, online printers, as well as label producers. The film creates permanent and stable composites, used for instance to produce stand-up pouches, without thermal lamination or adhesive connection, thereby simplifying the process considerably. Instead of heat or adhesive the film bonding relies on a chemically-mechanically connection activated by a Corona treatment.
From an economic point of view, this reduces the complexity of the processing procedure, the necessary investment of laminating tooling as well as the time-to-market. At the same time sustainable benefits are offered, like less energy consumption and therefore less CO2-emissions, optimized recyclability of the packaging as no non polyolefine glue is added. Moreover, the property profile of the co-extruded polyolefin solution opens up wide ranges of application, from a sealing media for multi-layer laminates to an overlaminate for labels protecting the inks.
