A process of reinforcing fragile sheet material, usually using transparent or translucent sheets of plastic or paper. Hot and cold lamination are possible. The materials used may be archival, but the technique is not an approved conservation practice. It should never be used for valuable items because it can be virtually impossible to remove without damaging the item.
A process of binding one fabric to another by means of heat or adhesive bonding.
A structure of fine, closely spaced layering along the bedding planes in certain sedimentary rocks.
bonding thin sheets together
the process of making by uniting superposed layers of one or more materials.
Process by which a sandwich of film layers are bound together by adhesives, coatings, or other polymers to form substrates with improved physical and chemical properties.
A film applied to printed sheets (commonly matt, satin or gloss) for protection or to achieve a particular finish.
Bonding of a polymeric or non-polymeric substrate to a polymeric film using heat and pressure.
There are basically four different types of laminating used on covers, casewraps or jackets. Varnish or aqueous is the least expensive and also the least durable. This coating is not recommended for any book cover. UV coating is OK for long runs (25,000 and up). In long runs it is an economical alternative to film lamination. However it is not nearly as durable. Film lamination comes in either gloss or matte. This is absolutely the best for book covers, casewraps and jackets. If any printer is substituting UV for film, be careful. [Back
Using plates on a press to fuse the various layers of a plastic card together.
the bonding of two or more thin layers of plastic, paper or metal. Thin layers of plastic foils are often used to protect a printed surface or to improve the protection properties of the package.
The process of preparing a laminate; or a multilayer PWB.
the application of a clear film to label material for the purpose of protection or to enhance visual quality.
The process of adhering a pre-printed media to the lens sheet. It is commonly used to apply both photographically imaged and digitally output images to the lens sheets.
The formation of laminae, the thinnest recognizable layer in a sediment or sediment rock, differing from other layers in color, composition, or particle size. Typically displayed in shale
A type of imperfection or discontinuity with separation or weakness, usually aligned parallel to the worked surface of a metal.
A coating applied to the cover during the printing process to provide a more durable surface and specialized textures.
A rupture in the pressed compact caused by the mass slippage of a part of the compact. Synonymous with Pressing Crack and Slip Crack.
A now obsolete but once popular method of strengthening fragile documents by placing them between two sheets of cellulose acetate film and then between two sheets of thin transparent tissue paper and then pressing the whole package together while introducing heat. The heat causes the layers of material to bond to the original document. This was a standard practice in libraries and archives between 1930-50. It can be reversed by immersing the document in repeated solvent baths to loosen the layers. Acetone is an effective solvent for this purpose.
The permanent bonding of two layers of plastic film to one or two sides of a flat item. This process is done by applying high heat and/or pressure (which makes it irreversible) and is not recommended for valuable items.
A plastic coating placed over a sheet or cover to increase resistance to wear.
A clear plastics film, bonded by heat or adhesive to a printed web to both enhance the appearance and add protection.
Very thin layers of less than 1 cm thickness.
The process of combining lamination material and core material using time, heat and pressure.
process to paste/laminate two films together in order to combine the properties of the individul films
An internal crack or separation aligned parallel to the extrusion direction, usually caused by contaminants that feed into the metal flow during the forming process or by cracked billets.
Composite product consisting of two or layers joined together, with glue, adhesive.
Separation into two or more layers due to some discontinuity in the steel, usually a layer of non-metallic inclusions.
Sealing a memory between translucent plastic pieces for the same reasons as encapsulation, but not as safe due to heat exposure and pressure.
The bonding under pressure of two or more materials to form a layer or sandwich of materials; i.e., plywood,, plastic laminate
A fabrication process bonding two foam types, or a foam and another substrate, using an adhesive.
a plastic film bonded by heat and pressure to a printed sheet for protection or appearance.
In holography, this is the permanent application of the hologram film to a rigid substrate like glass or acrylic sheet. This is usually done to keep the film flat during display, and also to protect the emulsion
1. The uniting of layers of material using adhesive. 2. The application of two or more layers of gypsum board.
the coating of film applied to bookjackets to give high gloss as well as added durability. A matt version is also available and is fashionable from time to time.
Used sometime in hardcover book production - a plastic film is bonded by heat and pressure to the book cover for protection and appearance.
Sealing an element between two sheets of translucent material. Process can be completed with an electric unit (which uses heat to press and seal), manually (with sheets), or with a machine like the Xyron (which is operated via a crank-style handle).
A process of reinforcing fragile sheet material, usually using transparent or translucent sheets of plastic or paper. Some forms of lamination such as those using cellulose acetate are considered unacceptable as preservation methods because of high heat and pressure during application, instability of lamination materials or difficulty in removing lamination from the item, especially a long time after the lamination was performed.
Applying a thin plastic film (acetate or polyester) to a printed sheet for protection and/or appearance.
