A New Class of Non-Halogenated Flame Retardant Polyester Film Substrates and its Applications in Metallizing Enviroments Paid Members Public
Presented by Yijun Ye, Ph.D., Toray Plastics America The development of a new class of halogen-free biaxially oriented polyester (PET) thin gauge base film with enhanced FR properties will be discussed. By utilizing novel halogen-free co-polyesters and platy inorganic particles, two types of intrinsic flame retardant biaxially oriented polyester
Development of Equipment and Technology in the Deposition of ITO and AR Coatings Paid Members Public
Presented by E. Yadin, Sidrabe, Inc. Three-drum and six-drum web equipment design and construction for the deposition of transparent/conductive coatings of ITO over a wide range of sheet resistance (from 10 to 500 Ohm/sq.), as well as of multilayer AR coatings are considered. The development of a multichamber
Methods to Generate Plasma Assistance for Vacuum-Based Web Coating Processes Paid Members Public
Presented by S. Williams, GENCOA Vacuum web coating is an important manufacturing process that is used to produce technological thin films for a wide variety of applications, such as solar cells, displays and solid state lighting. Plasma assistance is used in vacuum web coating systems to improve quality of end
Concave and Expanding Surface Rollers: For Better of for Worse Paid Members Public
Presented by Timothy Walker, T. J. Walker and Associates, Inc. Better handling of thin substrates often includes anti-wrinkle rollers. Concave roller, whether created with tape wraps or a machined profile, are a simple and effective anti-wrinkle roller. Expanding surface rollers, which spread and contract an elastic covering through their rotation,
Reliability Based Mainenance Paid Members Public
Presented by Dave Van Aken, DuPont Teijin Films What is the Maintenance team’s role in the manufacturing mission? We believe that role is to preserve the physical assets and ensure their availability to perform in a manner as good or better than originally required, using the most cost effective
Thin Flexible Polymer Substrates Coated by Thick Films in Roll-to-Roll Vacuum Coaters Paid Members Public
Presented by G. Tullo, General Vacuum Equipment Vacuum coating is one of the most efficient technologies available for the deposition of layers of various materials on polymer substrates. In the industrial environment there is the constant demand of increasing the thickness of the layers that can be deposited under vacuum
Where Films meet Foils, Some Perspectives on Thicker Vacuum Coatings Paid Members Public
Presented by R. Swisher, Sheidahl Billions of square meters per year of plastic films are coated with 400 to 600 Å of Aluminum and provide wonderful service to the food and decorative packaging industry. Many other rolls of oxide coated films in the 600 to 1000 Å range provide some
