Adhesive & Functional Coating

Whether you need an exceptionally thick layer of adhesive, a very thin one, or any point in between of a solvent acrylic, emulsion acrylic, silicone or rubber adhesive, we can accommodate. Our gauge control is within 10% of the specification, whether we’re coating nanometers, microns, or mils (thousands), and we’ll choose from a multitude of coating methods depending on the viscosity of the adhesive and the coating thickness.

Zone Coating/Dry Edge


When you need certain areas of the film to be free of adhesive, the adhesive can be coated in lanes, leaving alternating lanes free of adhesive. If your need is to have rolls with the edges free of adhesive, it can then be slit within the adhesive-free lanes to provide dry-edge rolls to avoid blocking of the rolls and adhesive ooze during processing.

Topcoating for Print Compatibility


We’re constantly developing and testing printable topcoats (a/k/a primers) to improve ink laydown and ensure adhesion with the latest printing technologies. These coatings are then applied to our graphic film products so you can be assured optimum print quality, whether you’re using a conventional or digital print method.

Application of Other Functional Coatings


There are a multitude of coatings available that can be applied to a film to change the visual aesthetics or to facilitate a certain functionality. Some of the purposes for which these coatings may be added are to:

  • change the gloss level of the film
  • improve adhesion/prevent adhesion
  • add color
  • change haze level
  • serve as an anti-fog agent
  • serve as an anti-fungal agent
  • add friction or give slip
  • selectively deaden the adhesive (known as a break coating)
