Coil Coating

Coil coating applications require adhesive solutions that perform consistently across a wide range of materials, processes, and end uses. H.B. Fuller works directly with manufacturers to support coil coating laminate production through adhesive systems developed for specific substrates, line conditions, and application requirements.

Our coil coating adhesives are used in both interior and exterior metal lamination processes, helping manufacturers address durability, efficiency, and design flexibility while maintaining stable production performance.

What is Coil Coating?

Coil coating, also referred to as continuous metal coil coating, is a process used to coat steel, stainless steel, aluminium, and other metal coils. When plastic films are applied to metal substrates using bonding agents, the result is a composite material that is called a coil coating laminate. These laminates combine characteristics of both the metal and the applied coating to support a wide range of functional and decorative applications.

Benefits of Coil Coating Laminates

Coil coating laminates are used across industries where consistent surface quality and efficient processing are important. Key benefits include:

• Design and decorative versatility
• Improved production efficiency
• Cost-effective, continuous processing
• High-quality finished products
• Sustainability and material efficiency

Application Areas

H.B. Fuller coil coating adhesives are used in a variety of end-use markets, including:

• Transportation: Passenger vehicles, trucks, campers, marine components, and add-on parts
• Architecture: Roofs, façades, partition walls, ceiling elements, and shop fittings
• Household Appliances: Refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, cookers, and related components
• Construction Supplies: Doors, gates, window frames, gutters, and roller shutters

Additional applications are supported based on substrate type and processing conditions.

Film Lamination

H.B. Fuller offers a broad range of bonding agents for continuous, in-line film lamination within the coil coating process. These adhesives are used for decorative and functional applications in both interior and exterior environments.

Our coil coating adhesives are compatible with a wide variety of metal surfaces and plastic films. They are developed to support modern manufacturing processes and contribute to responsible material use within production environments.

Functional Coating

H.B. Fuller has supplied functional coil coating bonding agents for metal substrates for decades. These solutions are used globally across large-scale production environments and support applications involving both polar and non-polar plastics.

The Köratac™ HL series is designed to provide strong bonding performance in the final product while offering block resistance in pre-coated coils. This allows coated coils to be processed and reactivated after storage, supporting flexibility in manufacturing workflows.
