Abstract

The invention describes a device and a process for producing extrusion-coated laminates. The extrusion device contains an extruder nozzle with nozzle lip, a cooling roller and a contact roller, wherein the cooling roller and the contact roller form a roller gap and the extruder nozzle is directed towards the roller gap. A melt of thermoplastic plastics, which enters the roller gap while forming a coating film and is joined to a substrate film in the roller gap, emerges from the nozzle lip. A device for improving the adhesion of the coating film to the substrate is thus disposed in the region between the extruder nozzle and the roller gap at a slight distance from the film. The device is a corona treatment station which has a discharge electrode at high voltage and an electrically earthed counter-electrode on only one side of the coating film.
