By use of a state‐of‐the‐art roller coating system, we coat textiles with melted hot melt. Besides a variety of possible application grids, given by the gravure of the heated coating roller, we are also possible to draw up plain films onto the surface of the textile. With this system we can use a very broad range of thermoplastic hot‐melt adhesives. Furthermore, lamination is possible with this system. The inserted thermoplastics already melt as from 60°C. The application of types with essentially higher activation temperatures up to 160°C is possible as well. In the foreseeable future we will expand our manufacturing line by another option: lamination by use of PU Reaktiv. Such bonds are high heat‐ and wash‐resistant due to their thermosetting property. After the crosslinkage, this type of adhesive enables an indissoluble compound of heterogeneous and homogenous substrates. With this new system we process working widths up to 2.10 metres.

Basis of the hot‐melt adhesives: CoPA, CoPES, EVA, APAO, TPU, PU Reaktiv
