What types of lamination processes does Hill Crest use? The two main processes utilized by Hill Crest include Flame and Adhesive Lamination. Our capabilities also include Dry Web and Film adhesives.
What is Flame Lamination? Flame Lamination involves passing urethane foam by an open flame, which causes the surface of the foam to melt or flow, creating an adhesive. This molten material bonds to the surface of the fabric. The fabric/foam combination then passes through a device called a nip roll to complete the lamination process.
What is Adhesive Lamination? Adhesive Lamination utilizes a latex or acrylic water-based adhesive for laminates up to 64” wide. The adhesive is applied directly to the material and metered with a knife over a roll. To ensure the correct amount of adhesive is applied to the substrates, a known measurement allows our technicians to meter the adhesive to achieve the desired bond.
What are Dry Web and Film Adhesives? These methods are used for laminations up to 60” wide that require a machine washable and dry cleanable laminate.
How can I set up my project with Hill Crest Laminating? Getting a project started with Hill Crest is easy. We begin by meeting with you to discuss the parameters and timelines for your project. We then inventory your incoming goods and prepare them for production. Following the lamination process, your products are trimmed and inspected for quality control. Before your products are shipped to your designated location(s), we send you a quality control report for your review.
Does Hill Crest manage the lamination project from start to finish? In many cases, we can offer complete materials packages to save you valuable time and resources. We give our clients the option of providing their own materials, or purchasing one of our materials packages. Upon completion, we ship your laminate products to your designated location(s).
Is there a minimum quantity order? Hill Crest does not have a minimum quantity order for lamination projects. We will also run samples for you to review and approve prior to a full production run.
