Mass Production of Clear Barriers Requirements on Vacuum Web Coaters for Quality Assurance Paid Members Public
Presented by Rainer Ludwig, Applied Films An increasing number of packages using Transparent Barrier Coatings, can be found in American stores. The success and acceptance of these coatings by the market will be based on the delivery of stable, high quality coatings. Compared to standard Al metallizing, monitoring quality is
SiOx Barrier Films for Flexible Displays Paid Members Public
Presented by T. Komori, TOPPAN PRINTING CO. LTD. High barrier SiOx film was obtained by a roll-to-roll PECVD system using hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) and oxygen. We found that SiOx film deposited by PECVD with HMDSO contains little carbon, and the refractive index and density were near 1.46 and 2.2g/
Coating Characteristics of Slot Die Systems Predicted bia Simulation Paid Members Public
Presented by Sam G. Iuliano, Extrusion Dies Industries, LLC Slot dies are premetered heads that uniformly apply coatings to substrates. To provide coatings without defects, dies must be positioned to form an ideal geometry between the substrate and the die lips. Since many geometric parameters can be adjusted, it helps
How do You Know You've got the Right Cover for Your Roller? Paid Members Public
Presented by Stephen Huff, ABBA Rubber Intl. Most people who operate coating or laminating lines are not rubber chemists. The specifications for their elastomeric covered rollers come from various sources, many dubious at best. How thick should the wall be? What durometer works best in this application? Why isn’t
A Remote Plasma Sputter Process for High Rate Web Coating of Low Temperature Plastic Film with High Quality Thin Film Metals and Insulators Paid Members Public
Presented by Dr. Peter Hockley and Prof. Mike Thwaites, Plasma Quest Limited Remote high-density plasma generation sputter deposition technology can overcome several of the limitations inherent in other thin film deposition techniques. The benefits include the ability to sputter thick ferromagnetic materials, high rate and stable reactive sputtering for deposition
A Review of Transparent Barrier Coatings Paid Members Public
Presented by B.M.Henrey, University of Oxford The transparent barrier films presently available on the market all have their strengths and weaknesses. At the same time there is consideration to use more plastic-based materials for different applications, e.g. displays and insulation panels. This situation has stimulated the industry
Enhanced Water Vapour Permeability Tester for High Barrier Materials Paid Members Public
Presented by Alyce Hartvigsen, PBI Dansensor The newest developments of barrier materials for packaging of water vapour-sensitive food products and other specialized applications such as organic light-emitting diode (OLED) films have led to the achievement of lower water vapour transmission (WVTR) rates through the materials. The WVTR rates of these
High Performance Copolymer Dispersions for Flexible Packaging Paid Members Public
Presented by C. Guy, Michelman Traditional ethylene acrylic acid copolymer dispersions require the presence of a primer on many non-polar substrates in order to achieve proper wet out and adhesion. This article will describe how new dispersion developments have evolved and discuss the high performance properties now delivered on a
