Tollcoating.com Installs New Pilot Coating Equipment

 

New Coater Can Help Manufacturers Trim Development Costs, Speed Product Commercialization 

 

WHITE CITY, Ore., Sept. 8 — Tollcoating.com, a premier provider of contract coating services, celebrated its implementation of a new Faustel Labmaster pilot coater with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Aug. 27 attended by local and state officials. The Oregon manufacturing plant is one of only a few facilities nationwide to offer customers the unique advantage of conducting cost-effective pilot coating tests on a small scale. This enables design teams to quickly and easily implement coating refinements before going into full production. 

“Our company can help manufacturers reduce development costs and speed the commercial introduction of new products. This capability presents a significant competitive advantage, especially under existing economic conditions,” said Steve Moses, Product Manager for Tollcoating.com. “We also expect the new pilot coater to deliver increased sales and growth for Tollcoating.com.”  

Tollcoating.com now provides roll coating (one, two and three roll; forward and reverse), gravure, Mayer rod, polishing bar, and slot die coating to supplement its extensive research and formulation services. Its pilot coating line is located in the same facility as its production machines and provides CDT, UV curing, hot air drying and lamination capabilities similar to the full-scale lines.

The business serves Fortune 100 customers as well as smaller companies, providing organizations with the ideal coating process for their application. Current product and process development efforts include formulations for nanoparticle coatings, multi-layer solvent and aqueous coatings, as well as emulsion and dispersion preparation and delivery.

Tollcoating.com services also include optical and photographic quality PET film manufacturing, extensive solutions preparation, advanced analytical lab capabilities and complete converting and packaging services.
