Laminated Tube

What are laminated tubes?

Laminated tubes that are made with multilayer laminate foil and are suitable for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and even food products. These tubes use aluminum or plastic barriers that are inserted between the outer and inner layers of the tube to stop any contaminants from reaching the product.  

Laminate tubes are used in day to day products and are an easy and safe method for packing that provides a very efficient barrier against leakage of volatile substances and provide protection against UV rays as well. You can buy easily from laminated tube exporters. 

Types of laminated tube protection

Laminated tubes come with excellent parameters of production and design. The first few layers are made of polyethylene, a layer of copolymer, an aluminum barrier, another copolymer layer and finally another layer of polyethylene. Some tubes made from aluminum foil have an ABL barrier or a PBL barrier.

An ABL barrier protects the laminated tubes by acting as a barrier against leakage of volatile substances from the tube and also acts against oxidization of the contents in the tube formed from the aluminumfoil. Aluminum foil is also the carrier of laminated layers of plastic material. This barrier provides an advantage over plastic tubes as they do not possess such a feature.

A PBL barrier provides protection by stopping volatile substances from leaking out of the tube contents and also acts as a barrier against oxidization of the tube content. These tubes also contain shape memory and forms back to the original shape after it has been squeezed. These tubes can also be manufactured as fully recyclable and transparent.

Most laminated tubes come with features like these and you can get them from laminated tube suppliers.
