EDI® Layer Multiplication Technology
US Patent 9,108,218
Developed for film and sheet processes, Layer Multiplication Technology (LMT) helps extend the shelf life of retort, hot fill, and flexible packaging while increasing thermoformability.
Overview
A layer multiplier is a special tool that can be engineered to multiply some or all of the layers within a coextrusion “sandwich” provided by a feedblock. The resulting microlayer structure then passes into the manifold of an extrusion die, where it is transformed into film or sheet of target width and thickness profile.
Trust Our Experience
We began working with layer multiplication technology in the early 2000s as part of a contract with the U.S. government. Since that time, we've used our knowledge of real-world applications to develop and hone the patented EDI® system that was first launched in 2009.
