Coating Methods
In this operation, fabric is passed between rotating screens where compound is applied to both sides simultaneously. The material is then infra-red dried before entering a second screen coating tower. Oven curing and inline inspection is the final step. Only one pass is required by this process.
In this process, fabric is submerged in a dip tank, then passed between pad rollers to control the amount of coating.
In this operation, base fabric is passed beneath a stationary blade, then through a drying oven where solvent is driven off. One or more passes are used to build the coating to the desired thickness.
In this form of coating, the rubber compound is formed into a film by the top two rolls and transferred to the fabric as it passes between the two lower rolls. Reeves offers both 3-roll and 4-roll calendaring capabilities.
Trelleborg has film lamination capability for urethane coated fabrics, as well as fabric to fabric lamination, which offers maximum quality and strength at a wide variety of gauges.
This offers maximum quality by minimizing pinholes, scratches, defects, and impurities. At the same time, our products see high strength at lighter weights.
This offers a wide degree of gauges while minimizing quality issues.
