Lamination
- Description: Joining of two or more layers by heat or pressure to modify physical properties.
- Process: Cloth-to-cloth bonding of textiles or other materials such as metal or plastic foils.
- Applications and effects: Improved tear resistance, water and wind resistance, heat reflection, UV resistance, abrasion resistance.
Laminating process
We use PU or special adhesive types in our laminating processes.
Depending on the application, the adhesive application varies from 2-18 g/m² with a Rösel roller (dots) and 19-50 g/m² with diamond hatching. The working width of the roller laminating system, which can be operated with a gap, is 2 metres and serves the customer-specific laminating and bonding processes. A corona system enables the surface modification of the product through plasma treatment, which improves adhesion. Controlled reaction conditions of the PU adhesive system are permanently guaranteed by a Weko system.
Equipment effects
The lamination process creates a material that combines the properties of its base materials and thus provides additional positive effects.
For example, a strong fabric becomes tear- and abrasion-resistant, while the plastic film is waterproof and windproof.
The combination with a metal foil results in an opaque and heat-reflecting material. This is how Ploucquet creates new product variants for a wide range of applications.
Membrane variants
Our service portfolio includes the lamination of the following membrane variants:
- Highly elastic EL membrane
- Breathable and windproof membrane
- Waterproof membrane for bed inserts
- Water vapour permeable membrane
- Flame-resistant membrane
- Metallised membrane for heat protection applications
- Membrane for anti-slip effects
