Calendar Coating
The calendar coating process fuses fabric with solid rubber, transforming them into a composite material. This is achieved by feeding the fabric and rubber through a series of calender rolls. The rollers exert controlled heat and pressure while maintaining precise speed parameters to ensure a consistent and strong bond. The result is a coated fabric with enhanced properties suitable for diverse industrial applications.

Hot Melt Coating & Lamination
Our hot melt coating and lamination process utilizes high temperatures to apply a solvent-free adhesive to the substrate, offering an eco-friendly solution without the need for drying or curing time. The amount of adhesive is meticulously controlled by an engraved rotogravure roller, ensuring consistent application. Following the coating, a second substrate can be laminated onto the first, creating a composite material with enhanced characteristics, suitable for various applications and ensuring a strong, reliable bond.
