 Micro-Control Coating Technology The WebFlight Process Explained Contactless Coating  WebFlight technology is a contactless method of applying coating solutions to web materials by modifying the micro-environment in which the coating solution and web meet. WebFlight does not employ rollers, knives, blades, or other contact devices to apply or level coating solutions across the web. Instead, WebFlight uses the following methods to optimize the coating process: Micro-Environment Control  By precisely matching process variables, such as flow rate, line speed, and vacuum pressure with coating fluid and web substrate properties such as viscosity, surface tension, and adhesiveness, WebFlight systems enable maximum coating productivity.Fluid Isolation By isolating the coating fluid from the surrounding atmosphere, rheological characteristics remain constant throughout the run, which means fewer adjustments of all other process variables. In addition, emissions of VOC's are minimized and easily vented. Atmospheric Pressure Control Reduction of the  atmospheric pressure in the vacuum chamber creates a low-pressure fluid eddy on the upstream side of the injection point, which serves two purposes.First, it primes the web with coating fluid ahead of the die slot, effectively enlarging the injection stream, thereby facilitating an integrated transition between adhesive and cohesive bonding. Second, it acts as an air dam, diverting residual boundary layer air away from the injection point and into the vacuum chamber. Coating Process Optimization WebFlight technology's precision controls facilitate extreme uniformity of fluid deposition, higher line speeds, less down time, less solvent usage and greater throughput for virtually any combination of web materials and coating fluids. |
