AI Thread Summary
The user is attempting to laminate two ITO-coated PET thin films using a laminator that reportedly exceeds 80 degrees Celsius, but the films are not adhering. Despite finding online resources suggesting that laminating PET at this temperature should be straightforward, the user is unsure why it is not working. A key suggestion is to measure the actual temperature during the laminating process, as relying on the laminator's settings may not provide accurate results. Without this measurement, it is difficult to diagnose the issue effectively. Proper temperature verification is essential for successful lamination.

Hi all,

I am trying to laminate two ITO-coated PET thin films together with heating (I believe the temperature generated by my laminator is above 80 Celsius degree), but they did not stick together even a little bit.

I have checked online for a few articles, laminating PET with heating (above 80 degree) seems straight forward, but why does it not work in my case? Did I miss anything? Please advise! Thanks a lot!

Well, until you measure your temperature, you're flying blind.
