Overview
Functional Coatings
specializes in custom coating, laminating and slitting of a wide
variety of engineered materials in roll goods form. Industries served
include textile, shoe, medical devices, automotive, furniture and
general industrial. Our company has a proven track-record of reliable
production for the most demanding customers (including the automotive
industry) and a demonstrated ability to work with ISO 9000 customers
and meet their quality, process control and documentation requirements.
Hot
Melt Adhesives and Coatings
 With
our reverse-roll hot-melt coater, we can coat or laminate heat-sealable
or pressure sensitive (PSA) hot-melt (HM) adhesives. The adhesives
applied can be commercially available products specified by the
customer, or we can manufacture and apply proprietary hot-melt formulations.
We also have the capability to laminate with "moisture-cured
hot-melt urethanes" (PURHMA). This class of hot-melt adhesive
forms very durable cross-links which allow us to fabricate high
performance laminates.
Functional Coatings also formulates and manufactures hot-melt adhesives
for sale or on a toll-manufacturing basis.
Water-Based
Adhesives and Coatings
We use two different
systems for applying water-based PSA's, adhesion promoters and primers
to foams, films and fabrics.
Our "camel-back"
drying oven is particularly useful for coating foams with a minimum
of tension that often causes width shrinkage problems. Coatings
are applied with a roll-coater head or a Meyer-Rod station.
Our "conventional
oven" is used for substrates that are less tension sensitive,
such as fabric, film and paper. Coatings are applied with a knife-over-roll
coating head. This coating system also has a laminating station
for applying adhesives by transfer coating from release paper. The
laminating station can also be used to combine numerous combinations
of engineered materials.
