Coating Matters
Hot Melt Coating Technology

As coating corporations work toward increasing margins, getting more out of the capital at the site, improving turns in inventory, and reducing environmental impact, they are running into the edge of material, expertise, and equipment capability. Hot melt adhesive coating is a great option for traditional solvent-based tape and label manufacturing, especially as the “green” label is providing a marketing edge in commerce.

The Effects of Viscoelastic Behavior

When coating a fluid, consideration of the rubbery behavior needs to be considered with the shear rate versus viscosity data.

Coating rubber bands is not easy. So when you look at coating liquids that have molecules already formed, or the fluid has a rubbery nature, care needs to be taken to consider the effects of viscoelastic behavior.
