CONT

Magnetic sealing is used where heavy polyolefin package members are to be sealed. A gasket, shaped to fit between the sealing faces of the two package members, is made from the same thermoplastic as the package, but has milled into it an iron-containing compound that has a high hysteresis loss. The package portions are pressed together with the gasket between their sealing surfaces and placed in a magnetic field oscillating at a frequency high enough to melt the gasket. This in turn melts the sealing surfaces and causes them to weld together. As an alternative to a gasket, an iron-containing material can be preapplied to one or both of the sealing surfaces, producing the same result.

DEF

Méthode de scellage des emballages de polyoléfine faisant usage d'un joint de même nature que l'emballage, que l'on introduit entre les surfaces à sceller. Ces dernières sont ensuite pressées, de même que le joint, et placées à l'intérieur d'un champ magnétique à haute fréquence qui fait fondre le joint. À leur tour, les surfaces à sceller se fusionnent sous l'action du joint.

OBS

Le scellage ou thermoscellage se distingue du soudage ou thermosoudage en ce qu'il fait appel à un enduit pour imprégner les surfaces à coller.
