Requirements finesse of printing for markets such as luxury, food-processing and security involves a choice of different rasterized cylinders. Indeed, the size and the depth of the alveoli, or the engraving technique used are parameters that must be defined before making a gravure cylinder. The engraving of the printing cylinders must be done with great…
Vacuum metallization is a technique that allows to obtain thin layers of metallic deposit on flexible substrates, the most frequently encountered substrates are: Polyester type films (PET), polypropylene (BOPP), nylon (BOPA), and polyethylene (PE), polyimides (Kapton)… Tissue. We will rather focus on aluminum deposition because it is widely used for consumer products (food packaging, insulation…):…
Lamination is the act of assembling two or more materials or supports together. There are 3 important parameters to consider: the “glue” used, the pressure and the temperature. TYPE OF PROCESSES It exists various processes, of which the following is a non-exhaustive list: – Dry lamination: the process of dry lamination is the action of coating…
Every object or earth body emits energy by radiation. We can take as an example (in a house): the walls, furniture, the residents, pets … This energy is emitted in the form of very long infrared waves. This ability to emit by radiation is called emissivity. The more an object has high emissivity, the more…
The Vacuum Insulation Panel (VIP) is a ultra-thin and high-performance insulating material that can be up to 20 times more efficient than traditional insulation products. The VIP provides optimum energy efficiency while preserving the useful volume of household appliances, temperature controlled packaging or refrigerated transport systems. A Vacuum Insulation Panel consists in a highly porous…
The transformation of plastic films consists to give technical characteristics to the plastic films. For example, to make a polyester film printable or heat sealable, we coat film with a polish. The formulation is a process that creates varnishes which will give the plastic films the properties required according to their applications. The achievement…
The implementation of a certification can sometimes seem slow. Every change within an organization has to go through several procedures. Some discrepancies can appear between the everyday life of a company and the orientations of the management system. Nevertheless, the 2015 version of ISO 9001 is a real progress and offers decisive improvements more in…
CSR is the contribution of companies to sustainable development. It means that companies take into account societal, environmental and economic factors in their strategy and their production. This concept which was not one of the main priorities for companies in the early 2000s, is now at the forefront. No doubt your company needs to…
In order to have technical characteristics, such as printability or sealability, plastic films must be coated with a varnish that will give these properties. As the market moves towards more specificities, it becomes imperative to develop custom-made varnishes, responding to increasingly precise specifications. You can develop your own varnish using our facilities, via our two…
