Extrusion Coating/Lamination - Films

In film lamination, a fabricated film is adhered to a moving substrate by application of heat and pressure. Film lamination methods include hot roll, belt, flame, calender lamination and sheet extrusion; each type providing a different combination of heat and pressure. The laminated film can add a functional surface to a substrate, or be used between two substrates to stick them together.

Substrates that can be coated with polyolefins include paper, paperboard, biaxially-oriented polypropylene (BOPP), biaxially-oriented nylon (BON), polyester and other plastic films, metal foil, fabrics, glass fiber mat, metal sheet and flexible foams.
