Presented by Ted Lightfoot, "Ted Lightfoot, LLC"

Whether you are planning to buy a new coating machine or looking for a contract (or toll) coater, you need a way to assess the suitability of various coating technologies for your product. That usually begins with a pilot coating trial. But people often have unrealistic expectations of pilot trials and fail to address the critical factors that will determine the success or failure of the overall project. This talk attempts to sort out the expectations, realistic, unrealistic, and the essential deliverables for pilot and initial production scale coating trials.
