ITW Dynatec's CrossCoat™ is a non-contact, metered, narrow gap glue applicator that produces a precise flow of adhesive for coating applications requiring a streak-free finish. A continuous film is formed from the applicator to the substrate. The surface tension of the adhesive allows it to be stretched as it is applied to the substrate, resulting in highly accurate and repeatable results. Lateral accuracy can be achieved up to ± 3% with a minimum coating weight of 1gsm at web speeds of 1,000 m/min and above.
• Lateral distribution accuracy up to ± 3%.
• Ideal for temperature-sensitive materials.
• Coating weights as low as 1gsm.
• Change coating weight and width on the fly.
• Consistent coating on uneven surfaces.
• Streak-free finish.
• Non-contact application encapsulates surface contaminants rather than trapping them between the lip and substrate, resulting in consistent coating performance while minimizing waste.
