The new machine makes it possible to control various parameters such as the addon, drying time and finishing time. This will benefit those working in technical-oriented as well as in fashion-oriented coatings.
The investment means that new developments will be possible on all types of substrates with different dimensions and applications. Some of the major applications are:
• Foam coating on denim
• Pigment coating
• Black outs
• Upholstery
• Shower curtains
• Sheen coating
The coating machine will enable Clariant to imitate customers’ production processes for trialing or problem-solving and will also help in demonstrating new products and
developments.
The state-of-the-art coating machine underpins Clariant’s position as a supplier of the full range of dyes and chemicals for all aspects of coatings. It brings the company’s coloration and finishing facilities and know-how under one roof, enabling customers to discuss the whole coatings production chain with a single supplier.
