Abstract:

An experiment was conducted to evaluate a process change to production of laminated aluminum foil sheets. This poster will describe the proposed process change, the experiment plan, and the initial analyses of experiment results. Currently, a combination of TeflonĀ®/fiberglass and polyester cloth is used to laminate the foil and the foil is laminated in a single sheet. The engineers in charge of production are considering process changes replacing the current materials with PacoThaneĀ® and PacoPadĀ®, laminating materials produced by PacoThane Technologies, and producing the foil in a double sheet. These process changes may reduce introduction of foreign material from the polyester cloth into the product and allow for double production. However, any process change must not affect the performance of the foil, measured by peel strength. The engineers conducted a small experiment to assess the
