Product details
Wet thermal lamination film is a type of laminating film used to protect and enhance printed materials. Unlike traditional dry lamination, where the adhesive is already applied to the film, wet lamination requires the application of a liquid adhesive to one side of the printed material before the film is applied. Here's how the process typically works: Application of Adhesive: A liquid adhesive is applied to the printed material using a roller coater or similar device. This adhesive is typically water-based. Lamination Film Application: The wet thermal lamination film is then applied to the printed material, covering it completely. Heat and Pressure: The laminated material passes through heated rollers under pressure. The heat activates the adhesive, bonding the film to the printed material. Curing: After lamination, the material may undergo a curing process to ensure proper adhesion and to remove any excess moisture. Wet thermal lamination offers several advantages, including improved adhesion, clarity, and durability of the laminated material. It's often used for items like posters, maps, menus, and book covers where a high-quality finish is desired. However, it's worth noting that wet lamination can be more time-consuming and may require additional equipment compared to dry lamination methods. Additionally, proper drying and curing are essential to prevent issues like wrinkling or bubbling in the finished product.
