obaleniu

Obaleniu is a term used in Slovak and Czech to denote the act or process of wrapping, enclosing, or coating an object with a material that forms a protective or functional layer. The noun derives from the verb obaliť/obaliť meaning to wrap or cover, with related forms such as obal (wrapper) and obalovanie (wrapping or encasing).

Contexts and meanings

In packaging, obaleniu refers to applying packaging materials around a product to protect it during storage and transport; this includes primary packaging (direct contact with the product) and secondary or tertiary levels. In materials science, obaleniu describes the deposition of a coating or shell—such as paints, varnishes, polymer films, or metal platings—to improve durability, barrier properties, or appearance. In food technology, it may describe the coating of foods with breading, batter, or other protective crusts.

Encapsulation and enrobing

In pharmaceutical and chemical industries, obaleniu can denote encapsulation or enrobing of active ingredients for controlled release, protection, or taste masking. Methods include dipping, spraying, brushing, and various deposition techniques, with films formed by solvent evaporation or curing reactions.

Environmental and regulatory aspects

Packaging and coating processes contribute to material use and waste streams, so recyclability, safety standards, labeling, and regulatory compliance are important considerations. Coatings are evaluated for toxicity, migration of substances, and environmental impact.
