Laminate layers are stack together using
- Two-component, non-solvent-based polyurethane adhesives for laminating transparent, printed and metallised plastic and aluminium foil to be used for food packaging. The application value of the adhesive mixture (resin) with a hardener ranges from 1.5 to 2.5 g/m2. As a result of reaction between the two components a polymer layer is created to combine the bases of plastic foil. Upon hardening the layer is transparent, odourless, flexible and wear-resistant. Two-component adhesives with greater resistance should be used for packaging with aggressive content.
- Single-component, non-solvent-based polyurethane adhesives that cross-link in the presence of humidity and at certain temperatures, which are good for laminating paper and cardboard with transparent plastic and/or metallised foil. Adhesive application value ranges from 2.8 to 4.0 g/m2.
- Solvent-based two-component adhesives (resin + hardener) + solvent (ethyl acetate) applied from rotogravure cylinders. Pressure rubber roller (sleeve) whose width corresponds to the width of the laminated substrate is necessary for laminating with solvent-based adhesives. Solvent-based adhesives are more flexible and ensure greater gloss. They are used mostly for combining such materials as:
