Packaging producer Intertape Polymer Group Inc. has started running a solvent coater at its Brighton, Colo., sealing tape operation.
The St. Laurent firm said the in-house coater will help bring new products to market quickly and will allow Intertape to expand sales. The coater will treat biaxially oriented polypropylene and other tapes. Combined with in-house film extrusion, it will help cut production costs, Intertape said in a Sept. 9 news release.
