High-performance laminating, bonding of nonwovens for manufacturers of consumer and industrial products.

GEM Urethane Corp. has the technology, experience, and equipment to help OEMs develop innovative, multilayer, nonwoven textile and film products. We offer both ultrasonic laminating and hot-melt adhesive bonding services, and have the capacity to meet the most demanding production volume requirements to help speed your products to market.

Our 130-inch, full-web, high-speed, ultrasonic laminating equipment is ideal for laminating applications where excessive heat might damage fabrics or fibers. Unlike thermal bonding, heat energy is not conducted through the fibers to be bonded. Instead, it is generated with high frequency ultrasonics within the actual fiber itself thus minimizing potential degradation of the fibers through excessive heat.

Ultrasonic Bonding Applications include:

* Medical Disposables

* Breathable Fabrics

* Filtration Materials

* Diaper Products

* Incontinence Products

* Automotive Products

As materials and technology continue to evolve, GEM engineers will work closely with your technical personnel to evaluate the best possible machinery and bonding methods to maximize output and optimize costs. GEM is a major research and manufacturing operation of FAB Industries, a producer of fabrics for the apparel, home furnishings, industrial, retail and specialty products markets. FAB operates six U.S. manufacturing plants employing more than 1,800 skilled employees.
