Core Home Textile Products: Blackout Curtains, Wall Coverings, Sofa Fabrics, Mattress Protectors, Summer Cooling Blankets, Sofa Cushions, Bedding, Waterproof Bed Sheets, Carpets—Emphasizing Wash Durability, Soft Hand Feel, Low VOC Emissions, and Class A Textile Standards.
- Principle: Uses moisture-curing polyurethane adhesive applied via an engraved roll or dot coating; solvent-free with low odor, compliant with home textile Class A standards and OEKO-TEX® certifications in Europe and North America.
- Coating Mode: Full coating / Dot coating (preserves breathability)
- Applications: Blackout curtains (fabric + TPU blackout film), wall coverings, sofa fabric laminated with foam, waterproof bed sheets (fabric + TPU waterproof film), mattress fabrics, functional bedding fabrics.
- Advantages: Excellent wash durability, no hardening or delamination; curtains maintain integrity after multiple washes.
- Limitations: Higher equipment cost; adhesive material is more expensive than water-based glue.
- Principle: Transfers hot-melt adhesive in discrete dots, preserving large areas of fabric breathability.
- Applications: Sofa fabric laminated with nonwoven or thin foam, bedding, cushion covers—ideal for products where adhesive application should not cause fabric stiffness or stuffiness.
- Principle: Uses water-based PU adhesive, coated then dried in a hot air oven, followed by mesh belt pressing.
- Applications: Low-end sofa fabrics, carpet backing, general home textiles, low-cost export orders.
- Drawbacks: Residual moisture after drying, average wash fastness, slight odor in some products; gradually being phased out in premium home textiles.
- Principle: Burns the surface of PU foam with flame to melt it, bonding fabric directly to foam without adhesive.
- Applications: Sofa fabric + PU foam, bay window cushions, sofa pads, upholstered fabrics.
- Advantages: Extremely soft hand feel, excellent breathability, high wash resistance.
- Limitations: Only suitable for structures containing PU foam; cannot laminate films (e.g., TPU blackout films for curtains are incompatible).
Hot-Melt Film Laminator (PA/PES Adhesive Film)
- Principle: Places adhesive film between two fabric layers, melts in heated tunnel, cools and bonds—no adhesive volatilization.
- Applications: Lightweight wall coverings, multi-layer mattress felt, thin home textiles, heat-sensitive fabrics.
- Features: No adhesive bleed-through, soft fabric hand feel; peel strength slightly lower than PUR.
Ultrasonic Quilting/Laminating Machine
- Principle: High-frequency ultrasonic vibration applies heat and pressure simultaneously, bonding without adhesive while creating embossed patterns.
- Applications: Summer cooling blankets, sofa cushions, bed covers, mattress protectors—laminates multiple fabric layers with cotton batting to form quilted patterns, replacing traditional quilting machines.
- Features: Seamless bonding, high speed; suitable only for thermoplastic synthetic fibers, not thick pure cotton fabrics.
- Principle: Dual steel belts with segmented heating and cooling zones provide uniform pressure over large areas, effectively removing air bubbles; suitable for both rolls and flat sheets.
- Application: Thick multi-layer mattress composite felt, premium wall coverings, large-format home textiles—multi-layer lamination eliminates air bubbles.
