WICO is a specialist for textile coating and lamination by use of thermoplastic hotmelt adhesives. This category of adhesives offers a number of advantages for the production process at WICO as well as the further processing in the course of diverse possible applications. Coating and lamination of textile carriers by use of thermoplastic hotmelt adhesives contains the fixation of a melted polymer on the textile with the help of pressure and temperature. For this purpose, WICO is equipped with different processes and hence is perfectly suited for the solution of your special demands.
Via our flatbed calendar lamination, materials are joined gently with each other by use of hotmelt webs or films. With evenly distributed pressure and temperature conditions, high-quality laminations can be realized. Work widths from 1 m to 1.60 m; smaller widths upon request. Basis of the hotmelt webs or films: modified EVA, CoPES, CoPA, TPU.
The thermoplastic hotmelt powder is scattered evenly and fixed on the surface by use of pressure and temperature. Like this, even temperature-sensitive materials can be coated in a gently way; also laminations possible; work widths from 1.20 m to max. 1,70 m. Base of the hotmelt adhesives: CoPA, CoPES, EVA, TPU, PE.
Coating of textiles with hotmelt adhesives. A variety of possible application grids and plain films can be applied. Lamination is possible. The thermoplastics melt from 60 ° C. Hotmelts with melting points up to 160 °C can be applied, widths up to 2.10 m. Base of hotmelt adhesives: CoPA, CoPES, EVA, PO, TPU.
Trimming and cutting of the coated and laminated products to the desired roll sizes; also includes an inspection. Errors get discarded and marked. Optionally, we implement a cutting of the edges. Optionally, we implement a cutting of the edges. During the roll up process, we can run in a PE- or silicone paper girder into the product. By use of our cutting machine, we can cut the textiles on desired bandwith.
