Engineering synergy between material science and manufacturing
Solutions for High-Performance Materials
We believe innovation in material science thrives when formulation, process design, and equipment development are interconnected from the start. That’s why our solutions reflect not only precision engineering but also deep-rooted expertise in material behavior and scalable production.
Our roll-to-roll production solutions and coating, converting and calendering technologies empower manufacturers to test, refine, and scale new coatings, adhesives, and functional materials with precision. By supporting customers from lab-scale formulation through to industrial production, we ensure material compatibility, process stability, and equipment reliability go hand in hand.
Whether processing polymer films, advanced adhesives, or specialty coatings, our systems are designed to adapt and optimize for your materials—ensuring faster development cycles, superior product quality, and seamless scale-up. This integrated approach is one of our core strengths: enabling innovation by combining material understanding with process know-how and equipment engineering.
High-performance material processing
Ensure material process reliability before full-scale production
Even the most promising formulations can underperform in production if they’re not matched with the right process and equipment. That’s why our Development Centers go beyond traditional lab testing. We help you simulate industrial conditions with your own materials – enabling iterative refinement, precise validation, and confident scale-up.
With real-time analytics, inline monitoring, and expert guidance, we work with your team to enhance every step – so your products perform reliably from prototype to mass production.
Evaluate material performance on industrial production machinery
In our Development Centers, manufacturers can run pilot tests using their substrates, coatings, adhesives, and specialty materials on full-scale production equipment. This allows for real-world process validation, ensuring that materials behave as expected under actual manufacturing conditions before full-scale deployment.
Fine-tune application techniques for uniformity and durability
Coating thickness and adhesion strength are critical to product quality and performance. Our testing process ensures optimal coating deposition, improved drying efficiency, and consistent adhesion properties, eliminating variability in high-speed production
Ensure precise layer application for consistent results
Thickness inconsistencies can lead to product defects, material waste, and poor functional performance. Our precision measurement and optimization techniques help manufacturers achieve uniform layer application, ensuring repeatability and process stability at high production speeds.
Optimize drying and coating methods to maintain efficiency
Proper drying and coating are essential to adhesion, durability, and final product properties. Our process optimization services identify the best temperature, exposure time, and conditions to maintain efficiency and quality, even at high throughput.
Identify weaknesses and ensure material consistency
Beyond process validation, our testing capabilities provide detailed material characterization, batch-to-batch consistency analysis, and failure mode identification. We support manufacturers troubleshoot potential risks before scaling up, ensuring compliance with industry standards and consistent product performance.
