Infra red pre-heating improves control of hot embossing.(FILM & SHEET CONVERSION)

From: British Plastics & Rubber | Date: May 1, 2005 | Copyright information

HERAEUS Noblelight carbon medium wave infra red equipment has enabled API Foils to achieve higher line speeds and better heating control in the hot embossing of holographic foils. The company produces an extensive range of stamping foils at its Salford factory and these are used to create prismatic effects for credit cards, brand authentication, decoration and security purposes.

Hot embossing of the polyester based film is conventionally achieved by using rollers filled ...

Infra red oven preels PVC coatings.(Heraeus Noblelight )(Brief Article)
British Plastics & Rubber ; Newmor Group is now using a Heraeus Noblelight infra red oven to pre-gel PVC used for wall coverings. The in-line process reduces production times. Most coverings are PVC on various substrates and the plastic is built up to the thickness required for embossing or printing. Final thickness is about
