High-frequency sealing is the most-used method for sealing laminated tubes. Its advantages include excellent seal strength and high speeds. In this system, high frequency current is sent through the tube causing the aluminum foil layer to heat up. The hot foil melts the plastic inner layer, creating a strong, hermetic seal when the tube is crimped. 1, record 7, English, - high%2Dfrequency%20sealing
