Lamination, Adhesive Coating & Material Bonding: Custom Solutions for Industry

Q: What Is the Difference Between Adhesive Coating and Material Bonding?

Adhesivization means making a substrate adhesive, while the complexing process combines several layers to form a multilayer product. In industrial practice, these terms are often used interchangeably depending on the type of substrate. We use both processes, which can also be combined.

Q: Why choose the RUBANS Group?

Our goal is to create unique, tailor-made finished products for your industrial needs.With our expertise and cutting-edge technology, we help you find the adhesive solution best suited to your business, whether for lamination, adhesive coating, or material bonding.

Lamination, also known as adhesive coating or material bonding, is an industrial adhesive converting process used to combine several materials into a single finished product. This process brings together the benefits of different materials to create custom solutions tailored to your industrial requirements. In practical terms, we apply an adhesive layer to the material you provide or that we supply, creating ready-to-use products for your specific applications.

Adhesive Converting Process

Lamination makes it possible to:

Laminate

flexible materials on one or both sides simultaneously (polyester, polypropylene, Mylar®, fabrics, films, foams, etc.)

Apply adhesive to

rigid sheets such as plastic, cardboard, wood, or metal

Make adhesive

a product that was initially non-adhesive through a specific treatment

Dérouler et traiter

jumbo rolls into smaller rolls for a continuous manufacturing process

Thanks to our industrial lamination equipment, we ensure precision, repeatability, and quality for your adhesives and technical tapes.

Adhesive Material Sizing

Once the materials have been adhesive-coated, our converting process produces adhesive products in cut sheets or rolls, depending on your requirements and the technical characteristics of the substrate:

Sheet-to-sheet lamination
Roll-to-sheet lamination
Continuous adhesive coating with direct rewinding into rolls

This flexibility makes it possible to adapt your adhesive products to all industrial applications.

Industrial Applications of Laminated Adhesive Materials

The laminated and die-cut adhesive products are used in many sectors:

POS and signage

Fixing and highlighting display units and promotional supports

Fitting, decoration and renovation

Covering walls, partitions and unique interior finishes

Transportation

Fixing interior trims, coverings, moldings and body panels

Construction

Installation of insulating materials, waterproof membranes, vapor barriers and prefabricated components

Electronics industry

Assembly of components, fastening of batteries, screens and printed circuit boards

Example of a Laminated Product

Custom Design for a Yacht

For a yacht interior design project, RUBANS Group combined an adhesive transfer tape with plywood panels.

The plywood is converted into an adhesive-backed material and then cut to the required dimensions, enabling fast and efficient custom interior finishing.

Custom adhesive solution for the temporary installation of floor coverings, particularly on delicate surfaces such as parquet flooring and marble.

The double-sided washi adhesive cloth combines two high-quality products: a thick adhesive cloth and a very thin, premium-quality washi paper, creating a double-sided washi adhesive cloth!
