ProAmpac, Polytechnique Montreal team up to publish ‘Heat Sealing in Packaging’
ProAmpac, a global leader in flexible packaging and material science, announced Monday its collaboration with Polytechnique Montreal 3SPack Research Chair for the launch of Heat Sealing in Packaging, outlining the principles of heat sealing and the correlation of molecular properties and processing parameters in seal performance.
The book, co-authored by Prof. Abdellah Ajji (Polytechnique Montreal), Dr. Ebrahim Jalali Dil (PolyExpert, Inc.), Dr. Zahra Kanani Aghkand (Polytechnique Montreal) and Dr. Amir Saffar (ProAmpac), covers both scientific and practical aspects of the basic principles of heat sealing packaging. The molecular mechanisms involved in each step of heat sealing, the effect of different sealant materials as mono and/or blend systems, the effect of sealing conditions, form/film/sealing evaluation as well as modeling/simulation of the heat-sealing process are presented in detail.
