  • 1.  Laminating Adhesives

    Posted 06-22-2023 03:48 PM

     

    Can anyone tell us about how laminating adhesives are typically applied to flexible packaging and what kind of adhesives are used?
     
    Is a roll coating system most common? Is a spray on system used? I'd like to learn more about it from material suppliers, equipment builders, and end users if possible.
     
    Thank you!

    Hi Diane, adhesives for flexible packaging are applied by a series of rollers. They can be either be solvent free or solvent based depending on the end application.
