Flame Lamination for Foam Bonding
topic
Flame lamination machines pass polyurethane foam through an open gas flame that melts the foam surface to a sticky state and immediately bonds it to a textile fabric layer under nip roll pressure at speeds of 10 to 30 metres per minute, producing directly bonded foam-textile composites for automotive headlining, garment padding, and upholstery applications without adhesive addition from the self-adhesive melt of the foam surface.
Role
Produces foam-textile composite materials for automotive interiors and garment padding applications through the solvent-free and adhesive-free direct thermal bonding of polyurethane foam to fabric, with flame lamination being the primary bonding method for automotive headlining composites where the combination of production speed, bond strength, and absence of adhesive emissions meets the requirements of automotive interior air quality specifications.
