Ashland Inc. and Mark Andy Inc. recently announced they have launched a film lamination technology that uses equipment advancements and new solvent-free adhesive technology to enable narrow- and mid-web converters to perform near-line slitting within hours of lamination. The combination of materials and machinery reportedly will save converters time, labor costs, and adhesive scrap; reduce line downtime; and improve productivity.
The technology reportedly uses Ashland’s Purelam™ 9500/9240 laminating adhesive in conjunction with Mark Andy’s in-line adhesive delivery solution to speed curing and processing efficiency on press. This technology reportedly enables in-line solvent-free lamination without pre-mix of adhesive components.
