Abstract

Packaging is crucial in our daily life for its uses in protecting a product. There are many forms of packaging which each form are used for a different kind of product. Tube is one of the packaging forms, it has a cylindrical form with a round or oval profile. Tube is mainly used for viscous liquids products such as toothpaste, ointments, cosmetics, and many others. The tube forming process involves the application of chemistry which will affect both the durability of the tube and the condition of the products inside the tube. An Excursion Program is conducted by SMA Katolik St. Louis 1 Surabaya in PT Pacific Equinox. The program aims to help us describe and have a better understanding of chemical substances used in the tube forming process. Informations are collected using literature review through previous journals and articles related to laminated tubes. Yet, some data such as the usage of polyethylene, polypropylene, Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol (EVOH), and ultraviolet are obtained through direct observation and explanation received from the representatives of PT Pacific Equinox. A direct interview session is also done to have a deeper understanding. Observation after observation lead us to find that there are two types of laminated tube which is Aluminium Barrier Laminate (ABL) and Plastic Barrier Laminate (PBL). As the name, what differentiates ABL and PBL is the material used for their barrier. ABL uses aluminum as its barrier, whereas PBL uses plastic instead. Ultraviolet is also used throughout the process as a pigment for the tube. Keywords: laminated tube, chemical substances, chemistry
