Adhesive Lamination of Felt, Non-Woven Fabrics and Foam Rubber.

Seamless Bonding: Adhesive Tape Lamination for Roll Felt & Sheet Foams
 
Adhesive tape lamination is the most effective and efficient method for transforming standard roll felt or foams into a functional, peel-and-stick material. This specialised process involves precisely applying a Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) tape to the felt surface, yielding ready-to-use felt rolls that are perfect for high-speed assembly and rapid component integration.

The Power of PSA Backing on Felt

By laminating felt rolls with industrial-grade adhesive tape, we create a composite material that maintains the felt’s core properties (cushioning, wicking, sound dampening) while gaining the convenience of instant mounting.
 
Key Advantages of PSA Laminated Felt & Foams
 
  • Rapid Assembly: Eliminates messy liquid glues and curing times, accelerating production cycles.
  • Consistency: Ensures a uniform bond strength and full adhesive coverage across the entire felt surface.
  • Clean Application: The protective release liner keeps the adhesive clean and prevents sticking until the moment of application.
  • Conversion Ready: The laminated roll is immediately ready for further processing, such as die-cutting, slitting, or waterjet cutting.
  • Versatile Use: Ideal for parts that require flexible, permanent, and often conformable bonding.

Our Adhesive Tape Lamination Process

Our precision laminating machinery will ensure that the best possible adhesive-to-substrate bond is achieved. For more information and detailed explanations of the involved processes please read our post on Adhesive Lamination 
 
  1. Material Preparation: The roll  is unwound, often passing through a cleaning or tensioning station.
  2. Adhesive Application: A roll of industrial-grade PSA transfer tape or double-sided tape is precisely aligned and applied to the felt under controlled heat and pressure.
  3. Laminating: High-pressure rollers ensure the adhesive penetrates and bonds securely to the fibrous surface of the felt, eliminating air pockets.
  4. Rewinding: The finished, adhesive-backed felt is rewound onto cores, often with the release liner intact for protection.

Adhesive Options & Customisation

The choice of adhesive tape is critical to the finished product’s performance. We offer a range of options to match your specific environmental and application requirements:
 
Adhesive Type Typical Application / Benefit
 
  • Acrylic Adhesives High shear strength, excellent temperature resistance, UV and solvent resistance. Best for outdoor/harsh environments.
  • Rubber-Based Adhesives High initial tack and strong immediate bond. Cost-effective for indoor, general-purpose applications.
  • High-Performance Foams Used when additional cushioning or gap-filling properties are needed.
  • Removable Adhesives For temporary mounting or repositionable applications where no residue is desired.

Common Applications for Laminated Felt Rolls

  • Anti-Squeak & Rattle Pads (Automotive): Used behind trim, dashboards, and components to eliminate noise.
  • Dust & Air Seals: Installed quickly in appliances, electronics, and HVAC systems.
  • Cushioning Strips: Applied to packaging or product feet for protection and non-skid properties.
  • Gaskets & Washers: Cut into specific shapes using the adhesive backing for fast, permanent placement.
