5 Layer co-extrusion of cosmetic "squeeze" tube Typical liquid packaging board. Multi-layered packaging are multilayer or composite materials using innovative technologies aimed to give barrier properties, strength and storage stability to food items, new materials as well as hazardous materials.
Before drawing, polymer melt is pushed through a die with a large number of small holes, known as a spinneret. Typically, the fibers are air cooled without any need for curing. If curing is needed, two methods are available: dry and wet spinning. In wet spinning, the polymer is dissolved and extruded through a spinneret into a chemical bath.
Sheet/film extrusion is used to extrude plastic sheets or films that are too thick to be blown. There are two types of dies used: T-shaped and coat hanger. The purpose of these dies is to reorient and guide the flow of polymer melt from a single round output from the extruder to a thin, flat planar flow.
A simple cross-section schematic of the slot-die coating process. Slot-die coating is a coating technique for the application of solution, slurry, hot-melt, or extruded thin films onto typically flat substrates such as glass, metal, paper, fabric, plastic, or metal foils.
Extrusion coating is the coating of a molten web of synthetic resin onto a substrate material. It is a versatile coating technique used for the economic application of various plastics , notably polyethylene , onto paperboard , corrugated fiberboard , paper , aluminium foils , cellulose , non-wovens , or plastic films .
For example, juiceboxes are fabricated from liquid packaging board which is usually six layers of paper, polyethylene, and aluminum foil. Paper is used in the lamination to shape the product and give the juicebox an extra source of strength. The base is most often particle- or fiberboards, then some layers of absorbent kraft paper.
Successful drawing depends on the flow and stretch of the material. Steels, copper alloys, and aluminium alloys are commonly drawn metals. [4]In sheet metal drawing, as a die forms a shape from a flat sheet of metal (the "blank"), the material is forced to move and conform to the die.
In direct extrusion the billet is pushed through the die with ram pressure, whereas in indirect extrusion a die moves relative to the container. Rule based analysis of extrusion process would help to determine a set of rules essential for consideration while designing a product, or even during cost estimation of a product. Some rules are ...
