Multi Layer Laminations of Medical Grade Materials

So-Tech performs several types of sophisticated lamination processes. We can laminate a variety of flexible substrates together with heat or PSA, without entrapping air or contaminants and not stretching the substrate. We have a wide range of equipment, from single station presses to sophisticated, multi-station presses, capable of laminating up to 12 layers.

• Pressure Sensitive Adhesive or PSA Lamination, and Cold Lamination is typically performed inline on rotary presses. So-Tech can laminate up to 12 layers inline with electronic registration.
• Heat Lamination – PSA and Non-PSA Substrates – Hi-tech can fuse dissimilar materials together with heat – up to 62” wide.
• Patterned Heat Lamination – process heat seals a particular area onto a continuous web or die cut component. So-Tech can heat seal custom patterns to any heat sealable substrate (like the heat seal of a pouch).
• Tension Controlled Lamination – Adhesive lamination to stretchy materials. So-Tech has custom built presses with precise tension control, that enables So-Tech to laminate elastic materials together without stretching.
• Adhesive lamination and sheeting – Continuous rolls of adhesive can be laminated to pre-sheeted or continuous substrates.
• Corona Treating – Surface treatment to bond difficult / low energy substrates. Can be used in PSA or heat lamination processes.
• Pressure & Temperature Control – So-Tech has calibrated servo presses that control both temperature and pressure during the lamination process.
• So-Tech can die cut and convert any 3m laminating adhesive or double-sided adhesive laminate into adhesive laminating strips or adhesive laminating films to precise specifications.
