Flatbed lamination
Gentle lamination with hot-melt powder or adhesive web. Suited to sensitive materials, with no change in thickness.
How it works
We produce layered materials that contain no PU foam layer. That is the main difference from flame lamination, where the foam serves as the bonding agent. Here the layers are joined with a thermoplastic adhesive and the thickness of the material stays practically unchanged.
Bonding is done with hot-melt powder, adhesive web or film. The material passes through the heated bed of the machine, the adhesive is activated and the layers are joined under pressure. Eighteen individually controlled zones allow the temperature profile to be set exactly to what the material will take.
That is why flatbed suits sensitive materials that a direct flame would damage. We process roll goods and cut blanks, and we can laminate several layers in a single process step.

Structure of textile materials
Three production technologies and how the layers are built up in each of them.
STRUCTURE OF LAYERED MATERIALS
Four ways to bond the layers
HEATED BED OF THE FLATBED LINE
- Hot-melt powder, adhesive web or film between the layers, activated by heat and joined under pressure
- Multi-layer lamination in one process step, with no repeated pass
- Hot-melt adhesive fixed to the surface of the material only, to be activated at the customer's site
- A self-adhesive coating for materials that are bonded during assembly
