Mondi Group

• Austria
• Packaging and Containers Manufacturing
• 700 & Above Employee

• MSc Thesis worker

  • Nov 2015 - Apr 2016

  Subject of the MSc thesis was practical adhesion between siliconized release liner and hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesives. In the study, the influence of the properties of the release liner, as well as the properties of the pressure-sensitive adhesives on the release force are examined. The work includes hand coating of paper with pigment coating and silicone coating, application of hot-melt adhesives as well as performing peel tests. In addition, contact angle measurements and examination of surface roughness are performed. The work is performed mainly at the Mondi Steti mill in Czech Republic, where I have got experience in working at paper mill, and to some degree at Tampere University of Technology.
