Textile lamination joins fabric to foam, membranes, nonwovens or another fabric. It covers a wide field from upholstery fabrics and technical apparel to automotive interiors and medical products.
Requirements
- Hand: The fabric must not stiffen after lamination.
- Breathability: Pores must stay open in membrane products.
- Wash and dry-cleaning resistance
- Heat and ageing resistance (especially in automotive)
Application methods
| Method | Characteristic |
|---|---|
| Dot (gravure) PUR | Breathable, soft hand, high wash resistance |
| Spray / web hot melt | Large areas, low coat weight |
| Powder or film | Dry systems activated by heat |
| Dispersion | Foam and upholstery lamination |
Why PUR?
Moisture-curing PUR hot melts give high strength at low coat weight and, once cured, resist washing and heat. Applied as dots with a gravure roller, they preserve the fabric's breathability.
Practical tips
- Finishes and silicone residues on fabric can weaken adhesion; trial first.
- Balance coat weight between hand and strength.
- Watch for blocking risk while PUR cures in laminates wound on rolls.
