IR in Converting

Converting is an umbrella term that covers industrial processes that combine raw materials to create new products. Many of the products metioned in our applications section can be part of the converting category. Metals, adhesives, plastics and other materials are often part of converting process. Heraeus Noblelight has extensive experience helping develop heat solutions for the converting industries.

Converting applications include:
  • Drying of flexo printing inks on foils
  • Heating of blown film during stretching process
  • Drying water-based dye on thread

  • Melting polypropylene fiber
  • Drying water-based ink on paper
  • Gelling PVC or reheating surface of PVC prior to laminating
  • Heating vinyl flooring prior to embossing
  • Heating PTFE during cutting operation
  • Heating bitumen on roofing felt

These examples are by no means a complete list. Infrared heat is an effective and efficient means of applying process heat in many other plastics applications.
