As a construction OEM in the prefabricated market, it’s critical for your panel lamination materials to prevent racking and moisture within wall and modular systems to enable a long-lasting product.
The right adhesives can make it easy.
Bostik’s full portfolio of hot melt adhesive chemistries and forms as well as liquid adhesives help ensure your residential and commercial panels meet performance demand while maintaining economic production processes.

Assessing Adhesive Technology Capabilities
Why Choose Bostik for Panel Lamination Adhesives
Hot Melt Adhesives
Films
Liquid Moisture-Cure Adhesives (MCPUR)
Roll Coating
COMPATIBLE PACKAGING: PELLETS, COEX PILLOWS, BULK
This equipment has a series of compression rollers with a primary heated roller that takes molten hot melt adhesives and coats them onto a primary substrate (either rigid or flexible).
Substrate type: Rolled goods, semi-stiff continuous sheets, individual rigid panels
Processes: Continuous or semi-continuous, medium speed
Adhesive application: Apply pooled, molten hot melt adhesive via rollers to primary substrate in thin-coat or pattern.
Melting requirements: Pre-melted in tank/extruder and pumped into rollers, direct melt on rollers
Heat sensitive material: Compatible
Spiral Spray
COMPATIBLE PACKAGING: PELLETS, COEX PILLOWS, BULK
The spiral spray process applies molten adhesives in a spiral-like fiber pattern, yielding a large adhesive coverage surface area. This process allows for porosity and breathability in the adhesive layer.
Substrate type: Rolled goods, continuous and individual sheets
Processes: Continuous, high-speed, varying widths
Adhesive application: Fiberized in random or spiral pattern
Melting requirements: Melt tank, drum unloader, extruder
Heat sensitive material: Compatible
Hot Melt Lamination Equipment and Processing
If you need versatility to meet a wide range of application needs, choose HMPSA
Why?
Low VOCs
Broad processing window
Wide tack level range
If you need strong performance for demanding applications, choose HMPUR
Why?
Excellent temperature resistance
Good elasticity and strength balance
Strong bonding for dissimilar substrates
Choosing the Right Hot Melt Technology
Excellent green strength to adhere to a wide variety of substrates, including common core materials
UV and chemical resistance to prolong durability
Various coat weights to address application demands
Fast curing and consistent linear coating to increase production efficiencies
What they offer:
Polyurethane Pressure sensitive
Technology
Designed to address various strength, durability and property needs.
Hot Melt Adhesives
Flatbed/Belt Laminator
Flat substrates are bonded together using heat and pressure. The heat and pressure are applied through opposing conveyor belts, compressing two substrates, which “sandwich” an adhesive layer to form a bond.
Substrate type: Rolled goods, continuous sheets, individual panels
Processes: Continuous or semi-continuous, medium speed, varying widths
Adhesive application: Unroll adhesive in selected geometry (thickness and width)
Powder: Use scatter coater for pre-application
Melting requirements: Preheated with IR oven and/or under belt pressure with recommended heat and line speed
Heat sensitive material: Compatible
Film Lamination Equipment
and Processing
Excellent barrier properties to enhance longevity
Broad processing window to increase design capabilities
Full coverage, multi-substrate adhesion to improve bonding versatility
Easy clean-up to reduce downtime
What it offers:
• Adhesive
• Barrier
• Adhesive/barrier
• Adhesive/barrier/adhesive
• Membranes
• With or without carrier layer
Bostik’s film form options:
Hot Melt
Technology
Designed to address specific application needs with custom widths, thicknesses and melt points.
Films
Roll Coater
MCPUR is typically applied through a roll coater on one or both sides at a variety of coat weights. Water is then sprayed on to the adhesive. Once placed in the stack, the adhesive cures. Pressure is applied to mitigate foam expansion throughout the curing process.
Substrate type: Rigid sheets
Processes: Adjustable cure times
Adhesive application: Extruded, spattered, swirl coated
Hot pressing: Not required, but can be used
MCPUR Lamination Equipment and Processing
One-component, 100% solids formulations to provide ease of production
Thermosetting to form a strong bond
Excellent creep, water, heat, chemical and humidity resistance to provide long-term bonding
Broad range of curing speeds to suit various processing requirements
What it offers:
Structural Polyurethane
Technology
Designed to ensure durability and structural performance while conforming to building code requirements.
Liquid, Moisture-Cure Adhesives (MCPUR)
