Extrusion lamination
Extrusion Lamination brings two or more layers of different material compounds together. Special inhouse developed techniques are used to combine (natural)webbings or (natural) non-woven fabrics with a matrix of (bio)plastic compounds. The (natural )fabric or nonwoven acts as a mechanical reinforcement for the (bio)plastic compound.

By implementation of the principle of a Circular Economy, CSX wants to become one of the leaders in Europe in developing plastic sheet materials and film.
Sustainable
CSX is not only considering existing generations, but also future generations. Due to their environmentally friendly production process CSX is aiming to produce to state of the art sustainable standards and beyond.
Clean
Environmentally friendly production processes are at the forefront of CSX. CSX strives for a system in which raw materials are fully re-deployed in a Circular Loop system.
Frequently asked questions about extrusion lamination
Extrusion lamination is a manufacturing process in which two or more layers of different materials are fused together. At CSX, for example, this can be used to coat natural fabrics or natural fibre-reinforced non-wovens with a bioplastic matrix.
The natural fabric or non-woven material acts as a mechanical reinforcement for the bioplastic compound. This allows the final material to gain additional support from the fibre or fabric structure.
Extrusion lamination is used when different layers of material need to be combined into a single product. At CSX, this mainly involves combinations in which a fabric, non-woven or natural fibre reinforcement is bonded to a plastic or bioplastic matrix.
In flat extrusion, CSX produces flat plastic film, sheets or plates. In extrusion lamination, two or more layers of different materials are fused together, for example a natural fabric or non-woven material with a bioplastic matrix.
In co-extrusion, multiple layers of plastic are extruded simultaneously. In extrusion lamination, the focus is on fusing different material layers, such as a fabric or non-woven with a plastic or bioplastic matrix. Extrusion lamination is therefore particularly useful when reinforcing layers or fibre structures form part of the final material.
