The "Topaz" technology is particularly suitable for textile applications. Behind this technology lie adhesive films that already crosslink at low temperatures and short cycle times and are therefore particularly suitable for rapid bonding. "Topaz" products are already activated from 70°C upwards and can therefore provide reliable and lasting bonds. By means of the reactive crosslinking mechanism it is also possible to achieve temperature and aging-resistant bonds for large and small surfaces.
However, innovative products alone are not the solution to the requirements of the textile industry. It requires partners who master and accompany the complex process from the initial idea to the integration into the customer's production process. Lohmann calls this holistic approach the "Smart Bonding Approach". Lohmann adhesive tapes are therefore not only available on rolls or sheets, but also as high-precision die-cuts.
In March 2017, the first Open Innovation Workshop on the subject of technical textiles took place at Lohmann. Here, participants were offered a platform to exchange ideas and technologies and to generate projects. The resulting conceptual proposals were successfully presented during various trade fairs throughout the year – the next one coming up in Stuttgart, Germany, at the end of November.
