Hot-Melt Application for Functional Compounds on Technical Textiles

Application of hot-melt products for the production of functional technical textiles is increasing rapidly. The system in comparison to the wet lamination process is able to run at high speeds. Increasing fields of application are realised, such as for the automotive industry, for interlinings, medical textiles, and other clothing applications. The coating machinery industry and suppliers of special hot melt adhesives are responsible for developing of new solutions and systems for the required fields. A close cooperation between all partners, machinery as well as chemical suppliers, is important for perfect customer solutions. The complete solution includes the chemical solution, test of different hot-melt products for their material, and the optimal application method. Close cooperation between all responsible partners with great experience is of outstanding importance to meet the high demand on technical textiles for the protection of human, environment, and machinery, as well for special textiles for functional applications such as roofing systems, geotextiles, building textiles, and textiles for airplanes.
