Glossary term
Lamination yarn
An adhesive-capable yarn used to bond knit faces, laminate structures or add functional zones during knitting.
Definition
Lamination yarns activate with heat or pressure to bond knit layers to each other or to laminate substrates.
They enable selective reinforcement and functional zoning without additional sewing or discrete adhesive steps.
Why it matters to DSEAMS
Seperb Liquiyarn is specifically designed for lamination composites — bonding at lower temperatures than standard adhesives and enabling easier lamination with membranes and tricots.
Related terms
- Low-melt yarnA yarn that melts or softens at a lower temperature than standard textiles, enabling heat-activated bonding without damaging surrounding fibres.
- Knit platingA knit technique that combines two or more yarns in the same stitch, with one presented to the face and the other to the back.
- Spacer yarnA yarn used in double-face knit constructions to hold the two faces apart, creating loft, thermal insulation or padding.
