Companies are increasingly seeking sustainable solutions in today’s environmentally conscious world without compromising efficiency or performance. One significant challenge is integrating eco-friendly coatings into existing machinery processes without major disruptions. Impermea Materials is proud to offer PFAS-free and environmentally friendly coatings that seamlessly fit into your current paper coating processes, including rod, gravure, and flexo press applications. In this blog, we will explore how our advanced coatings can help you achieve sustainability goals while maintaining the efficiency of your operations.
The Shift to Eco-Friendly Coatings
The demand for eco-friendly products is rising, driven by consumer awareness and regulatory pressures. PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), commonly used in traditional coatings, have been scrutinized due to their environmental persistence and potential health risks. As a result, industries are moving towards safer, sustainable alternatives. Impermea Materials offers a range of PFAS-free coatings designed to meet these needs without requiring significant changes to existing machinery and processes.
Compatibility with Current Machinery Processes
One of the key advantages of Impermea Material’s coatings is their compatibility with various application methods commonly used in paper and textile industries. Whether you are using rod, gravure or flexo presses, our eco-friendly coatings can be easily integrated into your current processes.
Rod Coatings
Rod coating involves using a wire-wound rod to apply a uniform layer of coating onto a substrate. This method is widely used for its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. Our eco-friendly coatings are designed to work seamlessly with rod coating processes, ensuring consistent application and optimal performance without the need for equipment modifications.
Key Benefits:
- Uniform Application: Achieve a smooth and even coating layer, maintaining product quality.
- Easy Integration: No need for new equipment or extensive adjustments.
- Eco-Friendly: PFAS-free and safe for the environment.
Gravure Coating
Gravure coating is a high-precision method that transfers coatings onto substrates using engraved cylinders. This technique is known for its accuracy and ability to handle various viscosities. Impermea Materials’ coatings are formulated to be compatible with gravure coating processes, providing excellent coverage and adhesion.
Key Benefits:
- High Precision: Consistent and accurate coating application.
- Versatile: Suitable for various substrate types and coating viscosities.
- Sustainable: Non-toxic and environmentally friendly.
Flexo Press Coating
Flexo press coating utilizes flexible plates to transfer coatings onto substrates, making it ideal for high-speed production and large-scale operations. Our eco-friendly coatings are optimized for flexo press applications, ensuring high performance and durability without compromising sustainability.
Key Benefits:
- High-Speed Production: Efficient coating application for large volumes.
- Durable: Long-lasting protection and performance.
- Eco-Conscious: Free from harmful chemicals like PFAS.
The Advantages of Going PFAS-Free
