Adhesive
lamination is the process of bonding two component or "substrate"
parts by sandwiching them together with a layer of adhesive material
in between. Whether it's fabric-to-fabric (knit woven or non-woven),
or fabric-to-plastic film (polyurethane, PVC, PE, etc.), adhesive
lamination is accomplished in either of two ways - with a washable,
dry-cleanable solvent-based adhesive or a water-based adhesive.

Fabric-to-Fabric
Lamination
If both
substrates in the adhesive lamination process are fabrics, it is
a fabric-to-fabric lamination. One of the two substrates is called
the face fabric and the other the backing fabric. Depending upon
the construction of the backing fabric, it can be broken down further:
- Fabric
to Knit
- Fabric
to Woven
- Fabric
to Non-Woven

Fabric-to-Film
Lamination
If the backing substrate is a plastic film, it is a fabric to film
lamination. Depending upon the type of film, it can be broken down
further:
- Fabric
to Urethane
- Fabric
to Vinyl (water-based only)
- Polyurethane
to Foam
- Fabric

- Vinyl
to Foam (water-based only)
