Dal-Bac has been creating custom foam lamination composites for orthopedic devices for over twenty-five years. Many of these composites utilize a foam substrate, of one type or another, to provide bulk, padding, stretch, air permeability or other important features.

Multi-Purpose Medical Fabrics
The medical industry is constantly evolving with new technologies, treatments and protocols. Medical fabrics must keep pace with this constant evolution to provide efficient and efficacious solutions that answer specific medical requirements.
Fabric Lamination creates exceptional composites
Fabric Lamination is a process that combines two, or more, layers of fabric into a single composite with specific characteristics. It creates fabrics that are customized for specific needs and environments that are beyond the capabilities of a single fabric solution. Fabric lamination results in composite fabrics that can be more durable, versatile, stronger and […]
Pressure Sensitive Adhesive – a two sided challenge!
When creating pressure sensitive adhesive tapes (peel-and-stick products), getting the adhesive to anchor to the primary substrate and the target surface can often be a challenge. Dal-Bac has a proprietary solution that solves that challenge.
Dal-Bac Achieves ISO 9001:2015 Certification
Dal-Bac is proud to announce that we achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification in the summer of 2016. We are one of the few companies in the textile industry that have ISO 9001:2015 certification. Our certification covers all of our products and services:
Versatile Laminated Fabric
Laminated fabric is a combination of two or more layers of fabric combined with some other material to achieve specific performance characteristics. The resulting composites create significant benefits and allow for varied applications beyond the capabilities of a single fabric solution. Laminated fabrics are often more durable, versatile, stronger, water-resistant and are
Case Study: PTFE Film Processing
We had occasion to process a moderately thin (.009”) and expensive, clear PTFE film. This film was to be used as component to a part that was, in turn, to be used in a sealed environment. Among the specifications was a requirement that the materials should not emit VOC’s above a certain level. The film
SIC and NAICS codes
NAICS and SIC numerical designations are a commonly used means by which potential customers can seek out likely vendors for the products they need. A person can look through the NAICS or SIC listings and find the designation that most closely matches what they seek, and then use that number to search for a vendor.
Flame lamination
Flame lamination is a technique that is often used to laminate flexible materials (usually fabrics) to foams and, in some cases, lofted non-woven polyesters (as might be seen used as quilting batting). The technique involves impinging an open flame directly onto the foam, thereby creating a thin, viscous, molten tacky layer (with a relatively short
Pressure sensitive adhesives
Pressure sensitive adhesives are one commonly used method to create laminates. Though not always providing the best of bonds, it has value in situations where the substrates to be laminated require a comparatively benign approach. Pressure sensitives (often called peel-and-stick adhesives or psa’s) can be had in roll form, in a range of formulations and
