Insulation     

BENEFITS of dry (heat) lamination technology:

  • simplify and speed up lamination process,
  • make production cleaner and greener (environment friendly) by elimination of liquid glue
  • the dry (heat) lamination can be used for the insulation facings without paper as well as traditional paper backed insulation facings
  • allow to produce acoustical heat reflective insulation boards and duct wrap by using perforated materials
  • allow to manufacture breathable reflective glasswool insulation with reflective properties, which is extremely important for the hot/cold climate
