Spray application |
Suitable for single sided effects and low add on levels; advantages through lowest water consumption, ecological process through low energy consumption. Option to create different effects on front and back side. | ![]() |
||
Padding process |
Suitable for porous, absorbent textiles and nonwoven ; very homogenous spread and good add on control. Additive mixtures in the bath are possible. |
![]() |
||
Coating | Suitable for single sided effects of thermal or UV-curing binder systems; coating thickness can be adapted and multiple layers are possible. Various effects are possible through choice of raw materials and coating type. | ![]() |
||
Pulp process |
Additives are mixed with pulp before paper making. Homogeneous spread in paper matrix, no post-treatment needed. Additives are retained in paper phase, no product loss in waste water. | ![]() |
||
Size-/Film press | Homogenous add on of thin layer after paper making. Application of effect chemicals on front and back side at low to high speed. | ![]() |
||
Extrusion process |
Suitable for thermoplastic granulates, for conversion into mouldings, fibres, and films. additives will be include in polymere matrix and produce plastics with special characteristics. | ![]() |
