Functional Web Coating: from Food Packaging to Technical Applications

Presented by Stanislav Dribinskiy, Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging (Fraunhofer IVV)

A review of Fraunhofer IVV research projects about functional web coating for food packaging and technical applications is presented. The scientific-industrial projects focus on analysis and optimization of R2R vacuum web coating and lacquering processes used for the enhancement of thermo-oxidative and hydrolytic stability, improvement of the gas barrier, adhesion, corrosion resistance and electrical insulation properties of plastic films.
