Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSA) and Hot-Melt adhesive coating are Reel-to-Reel converting processes used in coating and laminating machinery to apply functional adhesive systems on flexible substrates, enabling instant or heat-activated bonding.
PSA remains permanently tacky at room temperature and bonds under light pressure, while Hot-Melt adhesives are applied in molten form and solidify upon cooling to form durable bonds. Both technologies rely on precision coating systems to ensure uniform adhesive distribution, controlled coat weight and consistent bonding performance.
These adhesive coating processes enable solvent-free or low-VOC production, high-speed operation and excellent adhesion across a wide range of substrates, supporting advanced industrial and packaging converting applications.
At ILAMCO, we design and manufacture industrial coating and laminating lines for PSA and Hot-Melt adhesive applications, integrating technologies such as slot die, gravure, reverse gravure, knife-over-roll and multi-layer coating systems, as well as Hot-Melt extrusion and application units for advanced Reel-to-Reel converting processes.
Technology selection is defined by key process parameters including target coat weight, adhesive performance, rheology and viscosity, required bonding properties such as tack, peel and shear strength, thermal management requirements, and the interaction between coating technology and production line speed to ensure reliable converting performance.
A PSA & Hot-Melt Adhesive Coating Line can be designed to include the following sections:
Integrated in-line converting processes and modular system configurations allow full adaptation to specific product requirements and performance targets.
