Laminating adhesives and composite resins are cured using heat and/or heat and pressure. They are used for high load assemblies and in severe service conditions. Cured thermoset resins may soften when heated, but do not melt or flow. Phenolic, melamine, resorcinol formaldehyde, furan, polyester, polyimide and urea formaldehyde resins are thermoset adhesives that offer strong chemical bonds and good resistance to high temperatures. Other types of thermoset adhesives include acrylics, elastomers, epoxy resins, ceramic or inorganic cements, natural or synthetic rubbers, silicone compounds, fluropolymers, phenolics, and formaldehyde resins. Common chemical systems for laminating adhesives and composite resins also include polybutadiene, polyester, vinyl ester, polysulfide, polyurethane (PUR), water-based resins, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Laminating adhesives and composite resins vary in terms of material compatibility and features. Some products adhere to ceramics or glass, concrete or masonry, metal, paper, plastic, rubber, or porous surfaces. Others are compatible with substrates made from composite materials, textiles, fabrics, wood, rubber, or elastomers. Laminating adhesives and composite resins that can bond dissimilar substrates such as metal to rubber are also available. In terms of features, thermoset adhesives that are designed for electrical and electronics applications often provide protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD), electromagnetic interference (EMI), and radio frequency interference (RFI). Materials that are electrically conductive, resistive, insulating, or suitable for high voltage applications are also available. Flame retardant materials reduce the spread of flames or resist ignition when exposed to high temperatures. Dampening materials are used to form layers that can bend or flex without cracking or delaminating. Thermal compounds and thermal interface materials absorb heat from electronic devices or electrical components.

Products & Services Related to Laminating Adhesives and Composite Resins
Anaerobic Adhesives and Anaerobic Sealants
Anaerobic adhesives and sealants cure in the absence of air or oxygen.
Electrical Resins and Electronic Compounds
Electrical resins and electronic compounds includes adhesives, greases, pads, stock shapes, tapes, encapsulants, potting compounds, thermal interface materials, and electrically conductive substances used in electrical, electronics, and semiconductor applications.
Hot Melt Adhesives
Hot melt adhesives are solvent-free chemical compounds that are used to join materials. They can be repeatedly softened by heat and hardened or set by cooling, allowing parts to be removed or repositioned during assembly.
Plastic and Rubber Balls
Plastic and rubber balls are sphere shapes that are used as check or ball valves, bearings, and in other applications.
Plastics and Plastic Materials
Plastics and plastic materials are organic, synthetic or processed polymers that are supplied as raw materials or stock shapes. They typically consist of thermoplastic or thermosetting resins and can be made into many forms.
Rubber Adhesives and Sealants
Rubber adhesives and rubber sealants are highly flexible, natural or synthetic materials that are used to join components or fill gaps between seams or on surfaces.
Thermal Compounds and Thermal Interface Materials
Thermal compounds and thermal interface materials form a thermally conductive layer on a substrate, between components or within a finished product.
