Adhesive Lamination

Adhesive lamination solutions are tailored to enhance the durability and functionality of foam products. Utilizing advanced pressure-sensitive adhesives, we specialize in the lamination of polyurethane sheets, sponges, silicone rubber, and other foam materials that require additional strength or thickness for specific applications.

At Reilly Foam, we understand the importance of high-quality, custom fabrication services to meet the diverse needs of our customers. Our adhesive lamination consists of top-grade acrylic and silicone-based adhesives, making it perfect for materials that are too thin to function effectively on their own. By applying these adhesives, we can increase the foam material’s thickness, strength, and overall usability without compromising its built-in properties.

Uses of Adhesive Lamination

Packaging– It’s used to create strong, flexible packaging for food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and other consumer goods.

Labels– Adhesive lamination ensures that labels remain durable and resistant to water, oils, and chemicals.

Automotive– In the automotive industry, it’s used to bond interior components, providing both structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.

Construction– It helps in bonding different construction materials, offering enhanced durability and weather resistance.

Textiles– In the textile industry, it’s used for bonding fabrics, creating waterproof and windproof garments.

Types of Adhesive Lamination

1. Pressure-Sensitive Lamination: This method uses adhesives that adhere to materials upon applying pressure. It’s perfect for foam materials that may be sensitive to heat or moisture, providing a strong bond without additional curing or drying time.
2. Thermal Lamination: Ideal for materials that require a more durable bond, thermal lamination uses heat to activate the adhesive. This method is particularly effective for creating a permanent seal and enhancing material rigidity.
3. Solvent-Based Lamination: Using solvents to activate the adhesive, this type of lamination is used for complex applications where a stronger, more resilient bond is necessary. It is ideal for industrial applications where materials face harsh environmental conditions.
4. Solventless Lamination: As an environmentally friendly alternative, solventless lamination uses adhesives that do not require solvents for activation. This method reduces harmful emissions and is suitable for applications where environmental impact is a concern.

Pressure-Sensitive Lamination

Pressure-sensitive lamination at Reilly Foam is a versatile method suitable for a variety of foam products. This technique uses adhesives that form a bond when pressure is applied, without the need for heat or moisture. It’s especially beneficial for materials that might be sensitive to thermal processes or that require a quick and clean bonding solution.

The pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) we use are typically acrylic or silicone-based, offering excellent durability and resistance to environmental factors such as temperature fluctuations and humidity. This type of lamination is ideal for applications where the material needs to maintain its inherent properties, such as flexibility and cushioning, while gaining additional strength and thickness.

Applications for pressure-sensitive lamination include automotive gaskets, weatherstripping, and protective padding in sporting goods. It provides a reliable bond that ensures longevity and performance, making it a preferred choice for industries requiring both precision and durability.
