Flexible packaging is defined as any package or any part of a package whose shape can be readily changed, typically taking the shape of a bag, pouch, liner, or overwrap. It includes packaging made with paper, plastic, film, foil, metalized or coated paper, or a combination of any of these materials. They are used for consumer and institutional products and in industrial applications, to protect, market, and distribute a vast array of products.

For the past couple weeks we discussed the Coil Coating application; WHAT the application entails and HOW to solve the problems unique to that tough environment. This week let's discuss WHY you would need monitoring, by looking at real life applications:

Do you have trouble selecting a flammability analyzer? Have you noticed that the analyzer you used for a previous job isn't always the right choice for another application?

Though the instrument of choice may vary from one application to the next, selecting the right process flammability analyzer will optimize your plant safety and production speed.

Coil Coating is a high-temperature solvent vapor monitoring application in which rolls of aluminum or steel are coated with a color finish, oven cured to desired specs and sold to makers of cans, rain gutters, home appliances, building & automotive products and other fabrications. Coil coating ovens typically operate at high temperatures, with some zones at over 800°F. This temperature range is needed to cure organic polymer coatings to their substrate materials.
