What is Aluminum Laminated Tubes

 

 

Aluminium laminate tube is made of two materials, plastic and aluminum, spliced together. Plastic is a synthetic polymer, its composition contains some additives such as stabilizers, plasticizers, lubricants, etc. The stability and efficiency of the contents may be impacted by these additives migrating into the contents or the contents being absorbed by the plastic. The manufacturing of aluminum laminate tubes from two materials is more difficult, making it simple for errors to occur during the longitudinal welding of the tube body. Additionally, because the process is unstable, it is difficult to reliably guarantee the airtightness of each individual product during mass production when two different materials are injected into the tube body and shoulder. This is another drawback that hinders its growth.

FAQ
 
 

Q: What are laminate tubes made of?

A: Laminate tubes are a hybrid of aluminium tubes and plastic tubes. They efficiently protect contents thanks to many overlaid layers, one of which is the barrier layer. Both longitudinal edges of the laminate tube are welded together and constitute the body which is then sealed to the tube shoulder.Laminate tubes are printed on flat laminated webs before the tubes are formed, that makes more precise printing possible. In short, laminated tubes and extruded plastic tubes are made from different manufacturing process, and laminated tubes offer extra barrier protections and superior graphics.

Q: What are the properties of aluminum tube?

A: High strength-to-weight ratio: Aluminium round tubes have a high strength-to-weight ratio, which makes them lightweight and strong. This property makes them suitable for applications that require high strength and low weight, such as aircraft and automotive parts.

Q: How is aluminium tube made?

A: The manufacture of aluminum tubes starts with what is called an aluminum slug or blank. It is fed into a set of tools in the die which then extrude it. This extrusion press then roughly forms a completed tube form. The next step is to trim the tube to the specified length on both the top and bottom ends.

Q: What is aluminium barrier laminate?

A: It protects the contents against light, air, and moisture. Additionally, it stops the product from absorbing flavors from the other packaging layers or the environment. These plastic-metal tubes meet the packaging requirements for cosmetic and pharmaceutical products.Laminated tubes are widely used for packaging in personal care, food, pharma and industrial applications globally.
