Modifying LDPE For Improved Adhesion To Aluminum Foil, 2004 PLACE Conference

A modifier was developed to enhance the adhesion of LDPE to aluminum foil in extrusion coating/lamination. Statistically designed experiments identified four factors that most influence the adhesion: % of modifier blended with LDPE, temperature, thickness and time in the air gap. The results show that the modifier offers several benefits to flexible packaging applications, including greater consistency in meeting adhesion specifications and the ability to run at faster line speed or at lower temperatures without sacrificing adhesion. These are demonstrated using statistical modeling and analysis.
