TAPPI’s Flexible Packaging and Extrusion Division (IFPED) has organized a new informational webinar focused on exploring and comparing the performance of a variety of multi-layer extrusion laminates and extrusion coated films utilizing advanced laboratory modeling tools to predict the WVTR and OTR performance in film structure.
HDPE Barrier Extrusion Coating and Lamination for Flexible Packaging Structures
Tuesday, October 8, 2024
12:00pm - 1:00pm (ET)
This presentation will help you develop a better understanding as to how multi-layer extrusion laminates and coating structures effect property performance while improving the sustainability of final products. You will be able to specify proper resin and processing choices to achieve desired barrier properties in extrusion coating and reconstruct and reevaluate current film structures to be more sustainable. Webinar attendance is open to everyone and there is no cost to attend, but registration is required.
