Adhesives
There are three types of adhesives involved in the laminating industry. Depending on the process and the material needing to be laminated, different adhesives will work better than others. To determine if the adhesive is water based or not, place a square of laminate in a container of water. If the film turns cloudy, the adhesive is water based.
