Expert Foam Lamination Services
At KraFAB, we specialize in foam lamination services designed to enhance the performance and longevity of foam products. Lamination is the process of bonding layers of materials together to improve durability, flexibility, and performance. Foam lamination combines various materials, such as foam and textiles, to create composite products suitable for a wide range of applications. Our foam lamination capabilities include:
Foam Lamination Capabilities
- Adhesive Lamination: We utilize pressure-sensitive adhesives and water-based adhesives to bond foam layers or foam to other substrates. Adhesive lamination allows for a strong bond between materials, making it ideal for protective packaging, automotive parts, and more.
- Flame Lamination: This method uses an open flame to melt the surface layer of foam, bonding it to fabric or another substrate without the need for chemical adhesives. Flame lamination is effective for bonding flexible foams and is often used in automotive and textile applications.
Types of Foam for Lamination
At KraFAB, we offer a broad range of foam types for lamination services, including:
1. Polyurethane Foams
Lightweight and flexible, polyurethane foam is ideal for cushioning and insulation. It is widely used in furniture, automotive, and medical applications.
2. Neoprene Foams
Known for its resistance to oil, heat, and weather, neoprene foam is used in protective gear, automotive seals, and gaskets.
3. EPDM Foams
With excellent resistance to UV light, ozone, and extreme temperatures, EPDM foam is commonly used in outdoor applications, including HVAC systems and weatherstripping.
4. Closed-Cell Foams
These foams provide superior water resistance and insulation, making them ideal for marine, automotive, and industrial uses.
Custom Foam Lamination for Your Industry
We serve a variety of industries with our foam lamination services, including:
- Automotive: Foam lamination provides essential components like noise reduction panels, seals, and cushioning in vehicles. Our flame lamination process is particularly effective for creating durable composite materials used in the automotive industry.
- Aerospace: Lightweight and durable, laminated foam products are ideal for aerospace applications, providing insulation, cushioning, and vibration damping.
- Medical: Laminated foams are used in medical equipment for cushioning, insulation, and protective packaging. Our ability to meet stringent medical-grade standards ensures that your products perform reliably in critical applications.
- Consumer Electronics: Laminated foam materials provide shock absorption and insulation for sensitive electronics, ensuring that products are protected during shipping and handling.
The Foam Lamination Process
Our foam lamination process is tailored to meet your specific needs. We start by selecting the right foam material and lamination method for your application. The process can involve:
1. Layering Foam and Fabric
We bond foam to various substrates, such as textiles, to create laminated materials with enhanced properties, like increased strength or improved insulation.
2. Using Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive
When additional adhesives are required, we utilize pressure-sensitive adhesive to ensure a secure bond between foam layers or foam and other materials.
3. Flame Lamination Process
For certain applications, flame lamination provides a cost-effective solution. By melting the surface of the foam, we can fuse it with another layer without the need for chemical adhesives, creating a durable bond that withstands high-stress environments.
