Extrusion coating is a process that applies a molten polymer layer onto a substrate, such as paper or film, to provide protective or functional properties. Widely used in food packaging and industrial applications, it offers excellent sealing and barrier protection, extending product shelf life. With high-speed processing and precise control, it ensures uniform coating thickness and consistent quality. Adaptations for sustainability include the use of recyclable materials and eco-friendly coatings, reducing environmental impact.
