Converting is the customer specific finishing and cutting of films from standard stock: slitting to defined widths, rewinding onto suitable cores, die cutting, embossing, laminating and coating with heat activatable adhesives.
As standard, polyester (PET), aluminium and copper composites, BOPP, PVC and PE in different versions, as well as composite films with heat activatable coatings (PREPREGS).
In three core areas: 1. electrical applications (insulation for HV machines, motors, transformers), 2. the cable industry (shielding, separating and insulating films) and 3. general industry (coating, release, sealing and battery films).
Polifibra produces two layer and multilayer composites, for example aluminium/PET, aluminium/copper, polyester/Nomex/polyester as well as PET films with heat activatable adhesive coatings.
The coating is activated under pressure and heat and bonds the film permanently to the substrate without a separate adhesive. This is standard practice in winding and laminating processes in the electrical industry.
Yes. Polifibra develops and supplies film composites to specification. Layer structure, thickness, width, core type and winding hardness are agreed together with the engineering and production departments of the customer.
Yes. Samples are produced on request before series release, including the agreed composite combinations and converting dimensions. This allows the film to be validated on the own line of the customer before production starts.
Shorter routes for special requirements, direct coordination with production, adjustment of layer structure and tolerances, and one contact person for technology and logistics. This matters whenever standard stock is not sufficient.
Pure lamination uses a separate adhesive that has to be managed additionally in the process (roll length, processing window). Prepreg composites are already coated and are activated thermally, which is more stable in series production.
Through direct technical consultation: the requirement profile (voltage, temperature, media resistance, bonding process) is compared with the available materials. On this basis the structure is defined and, if required, a sample is provided.
