Adhesive Coating

Deccofelt is the premier, direct hot melt adhesive coater on the West Coast. Adhesive backed materials are efficient, economical, and convenient, without environmental issues or messy sprays. We have been developing creative solutions for our customers for over 55 years. Deccofelt specializes in applying adhesive coatings to foam, fabric, felt, film, cork, foils, and rubber materials. Adhesive types include: pressure sensitive, heat activated, moisture cure, rubber, acrylic, EVA, polyester, polyamide, urethane, and APO.

This trade show pop-up booth has fabric bonded by Deccofelt to a flexible plastic backing and adhesive magnetic strips that secure it to the metal frame.

 

Our specialties include:

  • Custom coatings, one or two sides (double coated)
  • Web width capabilities from 0.5" – 74",
  • Adhesive coating thickness from 0.001” – 0.015”
  • Permanent, repositionable, or low-tack removable adhesives.
  • Pattern and 100% coating with Pressure-Sensitive, Heat-Activated and high temperature thermoset adhesives
  • Direct or transfer coatings w/ easy release protective liners
  • Freezer grade to 600+ F
  • High Peel / High Shear adhesives
  • Processes: extrusion, gravure, roll to roll, & precast films

Laminating

Deccofelt combines a variety of materials using multiple laminating processes. We help engineer and manufacture to your desired material requirements through the combination and availability of thousands of substrates and adhesive systems. Performance options include, but are not limited to moisture barriers, increased durability, thermo formable, desired flexibility (hand), non-skid, protection barriers, temperature extremes, and sound & thermal insulation.

  • Web width capabilities: 0.5"-74"
  • Laminates up to 2" thick
  • Breathable or barrier coatings
  • Capabilities in combining multiple substrates

These nail files are composed of several layers of laminated materials, including the top abrasive surface.

Slitting, Die-Cutting, and Sheeting

Deccofelt can die-cut, slit, and sheet materials and laminates into a variety of shapes and sizes from ¼” diameters to larger and more intricate parts. Our rotary, steel rule, and clicker die presses customize your products to your specifications. Die-cut parts can be supplied with adhesive backing for “peel & stick” applications, or without adhesive. Parts may be designed aesthetically for visible use such as automotive sunshades, cork coasters, and cabinet doors, or geared primarily for performance, economics and labor efficiency for automotive and construction products such as sound & sealant gaskets and thermal insulation. Custom packaging is also offered for retail displays.

Our capabilities include:

  • Process: rotary, steel rule & clicker
  • Web widths up to 75"
  • Max. die – cut area: 42" x 59"
  • Can sheet materials up to 75" wide, and lengths from 1/8 inch to 12 ft
  • Available as individual parts or kiss-cut on rolls
  • Roll slitting up to 40" in diameter
  • Process materials up to 72" wide

Research and Development

Deccofelt's 50+ years of experience in adhesive coating enables us to meet the needs of our evolving and ever demanding markets. These services include working with customers to create solutions in design, performance, materials, tooling & production processes, environmental concerns, and ease of customer application. R&D continuously improves our material choices and production methods as Deccofelt constantly works with adhesive chemists and material manufacturers to incorporate new and applicable technology into its products.

Shared information can be covered using Confidentiality / Non-Compete Agreements.

Contact us with your specifications and drawings, or meet with our sales engineers to discover new adhesive technology & creative applications to materials, achieve a high- performance laminate for your new product launch, or gain confidence that your die-cut parts and slit rolls of materials meet assigned tolerances.

 

Deccofelt has developed a process of bonding pressure sensitive adhesives to sheet rubber. Most sheet rubber goods have difficult to bond to surfaces. Typical processing has been to roller or spray on a messy, costly, environmentally-unfriendly solvent-based contact cement as a primer, let it cure, and then apply a pressure sensitive adhesive over this coating. The final bond to the sheet rubber is still easy to peel off.

Deccofelt has developed a one-step process that achieves a much stronger bond of pressure sensitive adhesives to most sheet rubber roll goods. It is also cleaner, less costly, and uses no solvents.

 

 

Laminating adhesives present two problems during thermoforming processes. They can either soften to the point where the substrates delaminate, or they inhibit the ability of the substrates to conform to the desired shapes.
Deccofelt now laminates many substrates for thermoforming where the adhesive maintains its bond at elevated temperatures, yet has the elasticity needed to stretch and bend into a 3-D shape.

 

  Laminations of similar and dissimilar materials may require high temperature resistance for OEM processing or end use applications. Deccofelt is laminating high temperature films, foams, fabrics, and metal foils that are used in automotive engine compartments and electronics where successful tests have exceeded 600 F
