The Extrusion Coating Manual, Fifth Edition is the most comprehensive, hands-on manual covering the entire extrusion coating process, materials, equipment, and products. The book provides expert knowledge for engineers, technicians, operators, and managers on all aspects of the modern extrusion coating process. 

 

Since the fourth edition was published almost 20 years ago, there has been dramatic modernization in extrusion and laminating technology. Advances in computer design and machining, resin technology, and co-extrusion technology have all advanced to the point that extrusion coating and laminating now compete with traditional rigid materials in many packaging markets. These advances have increased productivity, reduced waste, and provided more product options to the industry and ultimately the consumer.
