As standard, the dry thermoplastic TecWeb® is delivered on a roll without foil or silicone paper. On customer request, delivery on a carrier is possible. TecWeb® adhesive is not a film with a closed surface, but a porous three-dimensional structure. The open structure makes the resultant laminate more flexible and breathable. Due to the structure of TecWeb® adhesives, other names such as veil, non-woven, nets or fleece adhesive are common.

TecWeb® offers an extremely versatile pallet of High-Tech adhesives. This large flexibility results from different base polymers used to formulate the webs, e.g., co-polyamides, co-polyesters, co-polyolefins, co-polypropylenes, co-polyurethanes and co-EVA`s.

To process TecWeb®, three fundamental parameters are to be considered: temperature, pressure and time. To activate the thermoplastic web adhesive, a glue line temperature above the melting point is required. Pressure and time are then coordinated with the respective substrates, to ensure the highest quality laminate.
