Our adhesive lamination department utilises controlled heat and pressure to apply adhesives to one or more surfaces with precision. Whether you're using bonding materials for improved durability or ease of installation, our lamination processes are designed to enhance product usability and longevity. We also offer tension rewind capabilities. For ease of handling and storage, we can supply laminated sheets rolled onto robust cardboard cores.
What is Adhesive Lamination?
Adhesive lamination is a precision bonding process that joins two or more materials using a pressure-sensitive adhesive. The adhesive is applied to one or both substrates, then compressed under controlled pressure and temperature to achieve a reliable, long-lasting bond.
Unlike traditional methods, pressure-sensitive adhesives do not require heat curing or drying – they activate instantly under pressure. This makes the adhesive lamination process fast, efficient, and ideal for large-volume production without compromising on quality.
Benefits of Adhesive Lamination
Adhesive lamination significantly enhances the utility and performance of rubber and foam materials across numerous industries. Key benefits include:
- Improved Versatility: Enable materials to perform additional functions such as insulation, sealing, and noise reduction.
- Design Flexibility: Expand product development possibilities by combining diverse materials.
- Simplified Installation: Pre-laminated adhesive backing allows quick and secure application.
- Better Performance: Enhances product resistance to moisture, vibration, and abrasion.
By adding adhesive backing to foam, rubber, or composite layers, components gain multifunctional qualities that serve a wide array of industrial and commercial sectors.
Advantages of Adhesive Lamination
Choosing adhesive lamination offers several practical and economic benefits:
- Rapid Turnaround: Pressure-sensitive adhesives require no drying time, speeding up the manufacturing process.
- Strong Adhesion: Provides excellent bonding strength even in challenging environments.
- Custom Solutions: Create components tailored for specific roles such as vibration damping, cushioning, or thermal protection.
- Cost-Effective: Reduces the need for separate bonding tools or fasteners, streamlining your production process.
This makes adhesive lamination ideal for applications in the automotive, aerospace, HVAC, electronics, packaging, and construction industries.
Capabilities of Adhesive Lamination
We specialise in laminating materials, such as Class O acoustic foam, which can be supplied plain or with self-adhesive backing for simple installation and secure placement.
Our adhesive range includes:
- Acrylic Adhesives: Excellent temperature resistance and long-term durability.
- Scrim-Backed Adhesives: Reinforced for strength and dimensional stability.
- Tissue Adhesives: Ideal for light-duty and flexible bonding requirements.
Tack levels can be adjusted to low, medium, or high depending on application needs. We also laminate foam to other materials using advanced spray adhesive systems to deliver bespoke solutions engineered for your product’s end-use environment.
