Why Choose Solventless Lamination?

Lamination is a critical step in flexible packaging materials production, enabling the bonding of multiple film layers to achieve optimal barrier properties. Traditionally, solvent-based adhesives have been widely used, but they present several challenges:

• Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions, requiring complex ventilation and recovery systems.
• Extended curing times, delaying the final use of laminated films.
• Higher environmental impact due to energy-intensive solvent drying processes

Karlville’s solventless laminator machines provide an effective lamination solution and a sustainable alternative, ensuring optimal bonding quality while reducing production costs and energy consumption. Our solventless laminating machines support various applications, including thermal lamination, delivering high-performance results without the drawbacks of traditional solvent-based methods.
