Industrial lamination: a key process for the performance of materials

What is lamination?

Laminating is an industrial process that involves assembling two or more layers of materials (plastic film, paper, metal foil, etc.) using a technical adhesive. This process creates a composite material that is stronger and has new properties.
These include

  • Dry lamination Adhesives: made with solvent-based or water-based adhesives.

  • Thermal lamination using heat and pressure to fuse the layers.

  • Calendered or flat lamination adapted to large series.

The benefits of lamination

Lamination offers decisive benefits for the industry:

  • Mechanical reinforcement Improved tensile strength and tear resistance.

  • Barrier properties Protection against moisture, air, solvents and grease.

  • Aesthetic finishes Smoother, matt or glossy appearance.

  • Versatility Adaptable to a wide variety of substrates (film, paper, aluminium, foam, etc.).

Typical applications for lamination :

Lamination is used in many sectors to create high added value technical solutions.

Mobility (automotive, railaeronautics)

  • Thermal and acoustic insulation

  • Protection of wiring and panels

  • Assembly of lightweight composite materials

Electronics & Electrical engineering

  • Insulating films for printed circuits

  • Barriers against humidity and heat

  • Reinforcement of membranes and sensors

Construction & Building

  • Protective films for windows

FAQ - Industrial lamination

Laminating uses liquid adhesives (solvent or water-based) to join several layers together. Laminating, on the other hand, uses pre-coated technical adhesive tape.

Plastic films (PET, PE, PP), paper, aluminium foil, technical foams and textiles are the most commonly used.

Yes, thanks to our flexible equipment, we can offer both prototypes and large-scale industrial production.

We work with solvent-based, water-based, hot-melt and hot-melt adhesives, depending on the performance required.

Mobility (automotive, aeronautical, rail), electronics, construction and packaging are the sectors most affected.
