Coil coating

Coil coating is a process in industrial manufacturing that is mainly used in the coating and printing industry. In this process, a continuous roll or endless strip of material is fed through a coating machine to spread a thin layer of a specific material evenly over the surface of the strip.

The coating materials can be diverse and range from lacquers and adhesives to functional layers such as anti-reflective coatings. Coil coating enables efficient and precise application of these materials to a variety of substrates, including paper, film, metal and textiles. The tape coating process generally involves the application of the coating solution or dispersion to the tape, followed by drying or curing steps, depending on the type of coating material. The even distribution of the coating over the entire belt ensures consistent quality and performance of the coated products.

Coil coating is used in various industries, including the production of labels, packaging materials, photographic films and many other products. This continuous coating process enables efficient mass production of high-quality coated materials for a variety of applications.
