Lamination is a bonding process that involves combining multiple layers of materials to create a fixed, inseparable bond. This process enhances the mechanical and thermal properties of the final product by merging the unique characteristics of each layer. Laminating can be done with or without binding agents, using various methods depending on the materials and desired outcome.

Lamination isn’t just for traditional laminate flooring—it also applies to fabrics like truck tarpaulins and foam. In these applications, the laminating process involves firmly joining several layers using a heat source, either with or without adhesives. This method is widely used in manufacturing, with heat supplied by Krelus infrared heaters and Leister hot air blowers. Leister’s experts can guide users in selecting the right technology and equipment for their specific laminating needs.
