    Product Information

    CHEMFAB® Release Solutions for Thermal Lamination

    Thermal lamination is a highly versatile process used to produce a wide range of lightweight interior car components. The high volume production of organo sheets and décor material manufactured in the process requires flexibility in handling different types of substrates and makes CHEMFAB processing aids a key contributor for seamless lamination operations. 

    Used as release sheets and conveyor belts, these PTFE coated fabrics have excellent temperature and abrasion resistance. Compatible with nearly all types of substrates and adhesives used, CHEMFAB release solutions maximise the output and machine productivity. Where often the biggest challenge is preventing line stoppages and machine downtime for cleaning off the residue from molten resins, they ensure that the process flow is uninterrupted. The risk of defects and yield losses is minimized as a result.

    Process Information

    Release Solutions for Thermal Lamination

    CHEMAB ptfe coated belts and sheets work as release solutions for thermal lamination in automotive composites manufacturing
    Zoom Diagram

     

    During the thermal lamination process, different products, such as substrates, décor materials, molten polymers and adhesives are combined in-line to produce a component part.

    In this aggressive and sticky environment, CHEMFAB release solutions are used as conveyor belts that carry the heavy load at high-speed and high temperatures.

    The non-stick PTFE surface ensures that the final product – either organo sheet or décor material – releases perfectly from the belt. Defect free and smooth, CHEMFAB coated fabrics offer long lasting release and minimize the risk of unplanned downtime when residue from a previous batch requires a clean-up.
