Polytype Converting has received four orders for curtain coating equipment, all for simultaneous multilayer applications.
The first unit, with a width of 1,200 mm and a production speed of 500m/min, is for a customer who produces three-layer thermal paper for the Asian market. The second, 900mm, 300m/min machine is for a pilot line of another customer from the Asian market who produces two-layer optical films and other products. The third unit, with a width of 2,000 mm and a production speed of 600m/min, is for a European customer producing three-layer inkjet paper. The fourth unit - at 1,850mm and 750m/min - is for yet another Asian producer of three-layer thermal paper.
Polytype Converting says over the past five years it has spent close to 50 per cent of all trial times on its two pilot machines for single and simultaneous multilayer curtain coating applications. These include PSA adhesives for paper and film based labelstock; fluids with various barrier properties for paper and board based packaging products; solvent based primer and adhesive fluids for packaging products with aluminum substrates; and highly viscous adhesives based on organic solvents for tapes.
