EDI: New newsletter reports on hot melt coating, foam board extrusion, and more…
January 25th, 2010The latest edition of the “EDI Advances” newsletter (Number 19) from Extrusion Dies Industries, LLC (EDI) is released. Chief topics include:
● Hot melt adhesive coating. A full-length technical article reports on two innovations, including a coating die for clear, streak-free pressure sensitive adhesives and a turnkey hot melt coating station. The article starts on the back page (8) and continues inside.
● Polystyrene foam board insulation. A special die for this application helps manufacturers offset productivity losses incurred as they switch to non-ozone depleting blowing agents. (The deadline for making the switch was three weeks ago—January 1!)
● Super-hard, super-sharp die lip edges. Such edges are critical for achieving the highest levels of quality and precision in film, sheet, and coating.
● Rheology—a lot more than melt index. A look at EDI’s rheological analysis capabilities, including information on why the science of polymer flow is important for extrusion processors.The latest edition of the “EDI Advances” newsletter (Number 19) from Extrusion Dies Industries, LLC (EDI) is released.

● EDI news—lots of it. In the six months since the last issue of “EDI Advances,” EDI has added personnel (including a new sales director for the Americas), appointed new agents in Korea and Turkey, brought a modular slot die coating system to China, and begun reworking blown film dies.
