An Optimum Solution to Your Coating Needs

Many times the need to package, label or identify a product will require new methods. New materials and or the behavior of materials may satisfy these needs. Specialty Coated products may be the answer to providing the protection or decoration to a surface. In order to achieve the desired characteristics from the thin film, the coating material formulation is carefully considered in relation to the part characteristics, surface preparation, and application technique and curing method. The right combination of components and following the procedural steps in an appropriate manner can help in forming a film that provides the solution. So in the modern day world it becomes a necessity to have companies provide the market with specialty products possessing various types of coatings designed and manufactured to customer's exacting requirements and to provide technical and product support services. Coating services and products can range from providing Cold Seal to Heat Seal to Pressure Sensitive Adhesive products both linered and self-wound. Also the specific applications include tags and labels, specialty tapes, and other adhesive coated identification products. In addition custom coating services are required as coating formulations vary widely, with different types and amounts of pigments, binders, additives, and carrier fluids. The differences in coating formulations provide film characteristics. Several layers of different coating material may be applied to a surface to form a coating film that will thoroughly protect the part. Characteristics specifically set for the part and its end-use. Often, one type of coating cannot be formulated to provide all of the desired properties. The first coat is typically called the primer, polyethers or undercoat, and the final layers are called topcoats. To better understand the concept of coating we can take up a sample case study where a manufacturer needs a special tape to bundle coils of their plastic tubing. It's quite a demanding scenario as the tape has to be tear-resistant to hold the tubing, yet able to be torn by the end user to remove. The tape requires a high coefficient of friction to keep it from slipping but must not adhere to the tubing or leave adhesive residue when removed. A water resistant destructive seal of the tape to itself is also a must. In this case two designs for this concept can be proposed as a high C.O.F. Heat Seal tape and a hybrid Cold Seal tape i.e. Adhesive and substrate development was undertaken simultaneously. This is how the two products were emerged from laboratory and field-testing, both satisfying the demanding requirements for this product. Donald Rindfleisch heads the company.
