Pilot trial Services

Extrusion Coating and Lamination

A unique pilot line for the creation of new packaging material innovations.

KCL extrusion coating and lamination services are designed to meet the demands of most challenging and modern extrusion trials

Extrusion coating and lamination pilot line is our latest pilot services extension. A 5-layer coextrusion technology with encapsulation function and versatile pre- and post surface treatment options provides excellent opportunities for the creation of new packaging material innovations. It can also be used as a small scale demo material production line.
