Flat lamination is a widely used process in the wood and furniture industry, involving the application of decorative materials onto wood-based substrates. Common materials include resinated decor papers, natural veneers, thermoplastic foils, and pressure laminates such as HPL and CPL, creating durable, attractive surfaces for furniture, doors, flooring, and shop fittings.
Reliable adhesives are essential to handle diverse material combinations and meet high quality standards. Moisture-curing PUR hot melt adhesives, along with PVAc and UF adhesives, provide strong, long-lasting bonds with excellent heat and moisture resistance, ensuring consistent results across all flat lamination applications.
IWG offers a complete range of adhesives specifically designed for high-performance flat lamination, suitable for both PUR flat lamination systems and cold/hot press production lines:
PUR Hot Melt Adhesives — 60605-2W / 60605-16 / 60605-26W
Designed for professional PUR flat lamination machinery. Excellent bonding for high-gloss PVC, acrylic, and aluminum honeycomb composites. Requires minimal glue spread to achieve high bonding strength. Exceptional water, heat, and solvent resistance — the preferred choice for kitchen cabinet doors and decorative panels.
Solvent-Based Adhesives — PG1073 / PG1062-6
PG1073: High solid content, cost-effective, suitable for continuous cold and hot press lines for PVC film lamination. Provides strong initial and final bonding.
PG1062-6: Toluene-free, high solid content adhesive for hot or cold press continuous lines. Offers excellent bonding performance and environmental safety.
Strong adhesion to PVC, acrylic, and aluminum composite materials.
Smooth surface appearance with minimal glue usage.
Excellent water, heat, and solvent resistance.
Suitable for high-speed, continuous production lines.
Low VOC, environmentally friendly options available.
Flat lamination is a process used to bond decorative materials such as PVC films, veneers, melamine paper or laminates onto flat wooden panels. Hot melt adhesives ensure strong bonding, smooth surface finishing and efficient production performance.
Both EVA and PUR hot melt adhesives are widely used for flat lamination applications. EVA adhesives provide reliable bonding and cost-effective performance for standard applications, while PUR adhesives offer higher heat resistance, moisture resistance and stronger durability for premium furniture products.
Yes. Our hot melt adhesives are specifically developed for automated flat lamination equipment. They provide stable viscosity, smooth application and consistent bonding performance, helping manufacturers improve production efficiency and maintain high product quality.
