Standards are extremely stringent in the construction industry. It is directly related to the will of governments to improve energy efficiency  and soundproofing of households. Efforts are made to make sure homes meet the requirements of both residents and governments in terms of the use of energy ressources.

When constructing building or when setting up a room, thermal and sound insulation system is an important choice that will have an impact on the quality of life and comfort of the inhabitants.

Insulation devices play a significant role in ensuring that homes comply with regulations that tend to conserve energy and protect citizens’ well-being and safety.

Assembling solutions in the shoe industry

 

There are different methods to assemble the parts of a shoe, such as stitching, sewing, and bonding. Due to its technical nature, bonding options are the most varied.  Above all several bonding solutions such as PU contact cement, PVA glue or flame bonding, in general, traditional bonding solutions are referred to as liquid glue.

 

However, today, these traditional methods are less and less suitable for the needs of shoe manufacturers because they require time and manpower. Furthermore, bonding results can vary from worker to worker, which will cause irregularity.

In our daily lives, we see textiles everywhere. In various industries, textiles are the foundation for many applications. The textile industry is also likely to innovate more quickly than other industries due to its strong compatibility. Joining materials, such as adhesive, allows combining of various substrates together, adding extra value and functionality.

Apart from that, lamination technology provides a wide range of possibilities. Innovative adhesive web even takes laminating process to the next level due to its clean and made-on roll feature compared to traditional liquid or water-based glue. It allows a continuous lamination process with higher efficiency.

What is a thermoplastic adhesive web?

A thermoplastic adhesive web is a solid material with a nonwoven structure, it’s also called a hot melt adhesive web. When we put it on hand, it feels like fabric. Depending on the machine setting, it exists in different weights and structures.

How is hotmelt adhesive web made?

A perfect adhesive web is formed from a fine fiber that is cooled down into a continuous nonwoven structure. Due to its special structure, it makes the final material very soft, flexible, and breathable.
