Flame-Laminable
WT Burnett offers polyurethane foams specifically designed for flame lamination. This involves passing a flame over the surface of the foam to create a thin layer of molten polymer, which adheres to another material, such as fabric or film, under pressure.
Mechanism of Action
The controlled application of a flame to the foam surface creates a temporary adhesive layer that bonds with the other material when pressed together.
Key Benefits
-
Cost-Effective Bonding
Eliminates the need for separate adhesives, reducing material costs and processing time.
-
Strong and Durable Bonds
Creates a robust and long-lasting bond between foam and other substrate.
-
Versatile Material Combinations
Allows for the creation of material stacks with tailored properties, such as enhanced durability, aesthetics, or insulation.
-
Commonly Used in Automotive & Furniture Industries
Ideal for laminating fabrics to foam for seating, headliners, and other interior components.
Considerations
Careful control of the flame intensity and processing speed is crucial for achieving a strong and consistent bond without damaging the materials.
