A Comparison of Aqueous Primers for Anchoring Vacuum Deposited Aluminum to Film Substrates Paid Members Public
Presented by Ginger Cushing, Michelman Inc This study presents three water based coatings which were applied to treated film substrates and subsequently vacuum metalized with aluminum. The primers produced strong adhesion between metal and film. Oxygen transmission rate tests show promising barrier performance. This technology would be suitable for packaging

Adhesive lamination: new technology in Solvent Less lamination Paid Members Public
A new development in solvent less lamination allows for: no need of a meter mixer dispenser; no pot-life concerns; quality check in 30 minutes; slitting in 90 minutes; delivery in 24 hours from lamination; while featuring the advantages typical of traditional solvent less lamination: low energy consumption and no emissions.
Low-Monomer, Fast-Bond Adhesives Paid Members Public
Presented by Pierangelo Brambilla, DOW Due to the evolving nature and more stringing requirement of European and local food legislation and with regards also to FDA food approval, Dow started to develop a new solvent less technology combining ultra fast Primary Aromatic Amine decays with fast curing speed allowing customers
Robust Reference Tension Optimization in Winding Systems Using Wound Internal Stress Calculation Paid Members Public
Presented by M'hamed Boutaous, University of Strasbourg It is well known that the tension reference value, which a priori guarantees a good quality roll, is based on the stress generated within the roll. The tension reference is optimized by considering both the tangential and the radial stress within
