Laminating & Coatings

Our capabilities include PSA laminating, film laminating, HATS laminating and composite laminating. Our proprietary processes allow us to laminate adhesives to silicones effectively. These abilities, combined with our slitting and die-cutting capabilities, allow us to help you design and create cost-effective and innovative parts for any application.

Whether you need a simple part or a complex composite, our experienced team will collaborate with you to design, prototype and manufacture parts that meet your exacting requirements. Please call us to discuss your application or schedule a visit with one of our expert salespeople. Let us put our experience to work for you.

Furthermore, our expertise includes in extrusion coating and lamination where resin is melted and formed into thin hot film.  This process is coated onto a moving, flat substrate such as paper, paperboard, metal foil, or plastic film.  The coated substrate then passes between a set of counter-rotating rolls, which press the coating onto the substrate to ensure complete contact and adhesion.

Extrusion laminating, also called sandwich laminating, is a process related to extrusion coating.  However, in this case, the extrusion coated layer is used as an adhesive layer between two or more substrates. A second layer is applied to the extrusion coating while it is still hot and then the sandwich is pressed together by pressure rolls. The extrusion coated layer may also serve as a moisture barrier.

Substrates that can be coated with polyolefins include paper, paperboard, biaxially-oriented polypropylene (BOPP), biaxially-oriented nylon (BON), polyester and other plastic films, metal foil, fabrics, glass fiber mat, metal sheet and flexible foams.
