March 2023 Newsletter: Secret to achieve better edge alignment

Nearly Perfect Lamination

We have recently added a new and more advanced heat laminator to our Indiana facility. This new laminator is designed to heat bond a variety of foams planks including lower density PE.  

By feeding foam planks through a hot air blade, the heat melts the surface of the foam, turning it into a tacky substance that essentially acts as an adhesive and creates a permanent bond. The computer-controlled rollers achieve better edge alignment, which translates to quicker uptimes and more usable materials. This new system accommodates PE planks up to 50” wide, and 6” thick, at a maximum rate of 16” per second.  

In addition to our Indiana facilities, you can also order laminated composite materials from our California and Silao, Mexico facilities, and pressure sensitive adhesive application is available across all our 5 locations in North America.
