Laminating Adhesives

Lamination involves a process that permanently binds different materials to give the final product a number of desired properties, such as increased strength or protection. For lamination processes that involve the use of adhesives, U.S. Adhesives manufactures a range of laminating adhesives specifically designed for the laminating industry and different types of lamination.

We create adhesives that are designed to provide increased adhesion to different substrates and materials, such as polyolefin, Mylar, cloth, paper, vinyl, plastic, aluminum, and various other metals and metalized foils. We understand the requirements of lamination, including the need for surfaces to lay flat and wrinkle free for a smooth and strong final product.

When looking through our recommended formulas below, take the time to view the details of each product to make sure that you select the right laminating adhesives that will work best for your purposes. An adhesive that works with metals will not be the best one to use with paper or fabrics. All of our adhesive formulas have been designed to work well with a different set of substrates. We offer nine of our most popular formulas below, all of which are designed to work best for laminating specific substrates, from paper and plastics to porous boards and various metals.

Below is a listing of our most popular adhesives for the laminating industry. Find the best laminating adhesive that works best for your requirements.
