Laminating Adhesives
Paper, film, foil, wood, panels — VAE, PVA, hot melt, PUR, or heat seal. Match the laminator and the stack.
Water-based VAE, PVA, and PVOH laminating adhesives for corrugated / litho-laminators and similar lines. Hot melt and heat-seal grades for coated papers, polyester, PET, polyethylene, polypropylene, cellophane, PVC, aluminum and metal foils and films. Cattie can offer products with FDA clearances for food packaging. Ask us for the grade and documentation for your application.
Pick the chemistry for the stack
Water-based VAE/PVA/PVOH for corrugated and litho-laminators. Hot melt or heat seal when the web is coated paper, PET, PE, PP, cellophane, PVC, or foil. PUR (hot melt or liquid) when flat panels need a structural, moisture-curing bond.
Contains reactive isocyanate. Read the SDS before use; use ventilation and protective gear; hot melt can cause burns. Call us for data sheets
We can formulate
Wet tack and green strength for your nip; clarity vs initial grab (see 8900 / 8900A notes below); coat weight for roller, spreader, or slot; FDA-aware food-packaging grades when the end use requires it — confirm the grade, do not assume every WB is food-contact.
What to send for a sample match
Both webs (or panels), laminator type and speed, nip temperature if any, and whether the laminate must stay clear, flexible, or heat-resistant. Call 800-249-0337 or request a sample. Quakertown, PA.
How-to: hot melts on paper laminates, nip station laminating, laminated film defects, coating and laminating line.

8900 / 8900A — two-part water-dilutable laminating adhesive for flexible films and cellulosic substrates. 8900A for high initial bond, clarity, and thermal stability. 8900 when maximum laminate clarity is the priority.
