Foam lamination is an important process for creating composite materials. Specifically, lamination is the process of gluing two parts together to form a single structure. This is especially necessary when it comes to making sponge foam composites, as they consist of multiple layers of different materials that must be securely bonded together to create a strong and durable product.
Almost all processed sponge foams can be laminated on one or both sides (self-adhesive). The technical foam passes through the laminating machine and is bonded with glue using a roller and heat. In addition to glues with strong adhesive properties, we also use glue that is easy to remove without leaving a trace after application. Laminated foams can be further cut, die-cut, processed with a milling machine, etc.
Equipping foams with self-adhesive foils on one or both sides by pressure and heat.
The foam laminating process involves equipping the foam with self-adhesive foils on one or both sides using pressure and heat. This process helps protect the foam from dirt, water and other environmental elements that can damage it over time. It also allows for longer foam life as well as improved aesthetics in certain applications.
Foam lamination is a foam surface modification technique that can be used to improve both the structure and performance of the material. This process involves joining two or more layers of foam together into one coherent unit using an adhesive. Depending on the application, various properties such as stiffness, flexibility or fire resistance may need to be improved.
The most common form of foam lamination is done by applying pressure and heat to bond the two components together. Depending on the material being laminated, a lower temperature process called „cold pressing“ may also be used. The resulting material has increased strength due to the increased surface area between the foam layers, making it suitable for many different applications in industries ranging from aerospace engineering to automotive manufacturing.
The first step in the lamination process involves preparing the surface by cleaning, ensuring that no contaminants will interfere with the properties of the adhesive. The glue is then applied evenly and consistently to both surfaces before pressing them firmly together until the glue is fully cured. The force and duration of the pressure required for this step depends on the type of composite being created, as well as its purpose.
Foam lamination is quickly becoming a popular alternative to traditional lamination techniques. Foam lamination has several advantages over other methods and can be used in a variety of applications. From protecting sensitive materials to increasing durability, foam lamination offers a number of benefits that make it an attractive option for many businesses.
The main advantage of foam lamination is its ability to protect delicate or sensitive materials from damage due to moisture, scratches, and dirt. Those materials are able to absorb any shock energy that may occur during transport or storage without compromising the integrity of the item being laminated. In addition, laminated foams are highly durable and abrasion resistant, making them ideal for more intensive industrial applications such as automotive interiors or packaging. Another advantage of foam lamination lies in its insulating properties.
For those looking for an even higher level of protection and durability, lamination can provide the perfect solution. Many materials, such as textiles, velour and aluminum foil, can be laminated at our facilities at your request. This process strengthens the material by binding it to the foam foundation. In addition, this lamination offers improved resilience to abrasion, water vapor diffusion and provides a robust protective layer.
This lamination is also useful as it provides thermal insulation which helps prevent the loss or increase of heat in applications where temperature control is necessary. This makes it a popular choice for many industries, including those producing automotive components and medical equipment.
