Flexible Material Lamination Adhesives

Flexible-material lamination should be matched around the two substrates, coating method, line speed, drying window and the final bond test after conditioning.

Common failure problems

  • Poor wet-out
  • Edge lifting
  • Delamination after aging
  • Blocking
  • Slow drying

Selection logic

Start with the use case, then narrow the route by substrate, process window and failure mode.

Testing suggestions

Use both production substrates

Record coat weight, line speed and drying

Check final bond after agreed conditioning

FAQ

Can a lamination adhesive be selected from only one substrate?

No. The second substrate, coating method, drying condition and final conditioning test can all change the result.
