LAMINATING

Used to apply pressure sensitive adhesive to solids, sponges and foams prior to other manufacturing processes.

Our cold lamination process is used to apply pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) to solids, sponges and foams prior to die cutting.

We also laminate various materials in line prior to automated production. In both hot and cold lamination, the thicker the film or pouch, the stiffer and more durable the laminated item will be.

Proper lamination can eliminate elastomeric shrinkage of the gasket or seal. Shrinkage occurs when materials are pulled too tightly in the laminating process or when rolled up during original manufacture of the raw material. When the elastomer is cut or pulled in process, the material goes back to its resting place after being made or laminated. Our skilled production crew understands the elongation of most materials and adjusts the tension to make a quality part.

With the addition of our new 60" Heat Laminator we now have the capabilities to laminate, slit and rewind hot (400 degree) and cold adhesive systems (tapes) on one complete machine. This new lamination system permits Greene Rubber to slit material up to 60" wide, rewind pressure sensitive adhesive products, rolls and sheets eliminating "edge curl" due to the full contact of the 180 degree round drum. This allows Greene to rewind materials for continuous operations.
