SEALING OF THERMOPLASTICS
ROPEX is the leading expert of sealing and cutting thermoplastics. Most common thermoplastics are
Polyethylenterephthalat (PET), Polyethylen (PE), Polypropylen (PP). Furthermore it´s possible to seal the following materials.
Regardless of the type and composition, thermoplastics with different varying recycled content usually require precise temperature input and a controllable processing window. ROPEX’s impulse sealing technology offers exactly the right solution for this challenge. In order to test the feasibility of sealing, ROPEX carries out sealing trials with your film in advance of the project launch.
Continuous temperature control allows biodegradable films to be safely sealed with ROPEX impulse sealing technology. This requires precise temperature application, a controllable process window and a seal strength that can be validated. All these criteria are served by impulse sealing.
Paper packaging that has a PE coating, wax layer, resin coating or a sugar-based solution can be sealed together by a thermal impulse.
This also includes the joining of materials by means of hotmelt. Due to the low input on the packaged goods and the precise temperature control, the thermal impulse is the ideal solution for sensitive packaging contents.
With natural materials, such as paper, the use of continuous heating is less of an option due to the flammability of the paper.
HAVE YOUR FOIL TESTED
Would you like to know whether your packaging material can be sealed?
We would be happy to test in advance on the basis of your film whether this is possible. Please contact us using the following contact form and we will get back to you.
