K.L. self-bonding lamination – innovation to simplify the process chain
In cooperation with one of the major German OEMs, K. L. developed a self-bonding coating that is applied to decorative reel material and covered with a very thin parting film to protect the adhesive layer. The parting film is easy to remove just before assembly and the component can be bonded. By using this self-bonding film, the use of any spray adhesive becomes quite unnecessary, which clearly improves cycle time and working conditions, while reducing scrap rates. Consequently, higher costs of investment in spray systems are not incurred.
