Laminated tubes are formed by rolling a flat sheet into a cylinder and welding two sides of the sheet together. Laminate tubes are a hybrid of aluminium tubes and plastic tubes. They efficiently protect contents thanks to many overlaid layers, one of which is the barrier layer.Usually barrier layers are made of aluminium or EVOH plastic. Laminate tubes, with their multi-layer structure, provide excellent barrier properties that help prevent loss of flavors, preserve essential oils and minimize the transmission of oxygen, gas and light to maintain product stability.It is because of these great barrier features that laminate tubes are becoming increasingly popular for food applications. They are also used for a growing list of packaging pplications including pharmaceutical, cosmetic and industrial uses as well as artist aints.
