Worth knowing - aluminum foil, blisters, laminates

Modern foils used as a composite for building insulation act as a vapor barrier and thermal insulator. Composite means several layers of different foils. Different types of foil are mechanically or chemically bonded. Building insulation through functional composites Building owners can easily achieve one goal with composite foil: more living space through reduced wall thickness. Aluminum foil is often found in combination with other materials.... Weiterlesen

Functional aluminum and composite foils in roof insulation When renovating and / or building new roofs, insulation is always installed. The basic aim here is to create airtightness and windproofness. In general, diffusion-open foils that act as so-called diffusion-tight vapor retarders are suitable for this purpose. Vapor retarders Vapor retarders are components with... Weiterlesen

Food packaging made of aluminum and laminates, so-called composite films, are popular products that clearly convince with their multiple advantages. Strict legal regulations apply to food packaging, which regulate important objectives in terms of hygiene and product quality. For example, the effect of these composite materials on the packaged food is also regulated. Assuming that alone... Weiterlesen

Metallized PET film (metallized polyethylene terephthalate, PET-MET) is produced by coating polyester film with a very thin layer of metal. This is vapor-deposited in a high vacuum. The metal used is usually aluminum in its purest form (99.9 %). The use of aluminium optimizes the diffusion density. Vapor deposition with this metal creates a so-called barrier effect against foreign substances. This... Weiterlesen

Aluminum foil for blister or other medical packaging Thanks to its various positive properties and easy-to-process consistency, aluminum foil is the perfect material for blister or other medical packaging. For medicines, it is very important that they have an air and oxygen barrier around them to protect them from external influences. Otherwise, it can quickly happen that... Weiterlesen

To keep food fresh, it needs protection from the air and germs. Protection is often provided by aluminum and laminated films that are functionally and visually enhanced. Dairy products and cheese products in particular place high food law requirements on packaging solutions. The laminated film The laminated film consists of several layers of film. In particular, the individual... Weiterlesen

Laminated films, also known as multilayer films, are used in many areas of industry. These are multi-layer packaging films that are produced by laminating, extruding and laminating. Laminated films consist of several layers, each of which is produced for a specific application. The respective film layers are usually laminated or extruded. An adhesive lamination, which can be solvent-free or solvent-based, is used to... Weiterlesen
