Resin Coating
For years, Filmcutter has been developing technical solutions that meet the needs of the market, making use of a dense network of collaborators and suppliers especially in the development of resins, water solutions or solvent dispersions that lead to the development of tailor made products.
In particular, Filmcutter has two lines in which it is possible to carry out the resin/coating of various types of support. By combining the characteristics of the base materials with the properties of the resins, technical products suitable for different fields of application can be obtained.
In this department it is possible to use water-based or solvent-based resins, using the coating technology in a Mayer bar or in a squeegee, both with a maximum span of 2300 mm.
These resins can for example be acrylic, polyester, silicone or polyurethane based. Depending on their viscosity and density, they can generally be applied from 2 to 100 grams per square meter, compatible with the surface on which they are to be spread.
The product thus obtained can be supplied to the customer in the most suitable format. In the majority of cases it is possible for us to produce small-sized rolls thanks to the use of revolvers and in-line cutting groups. Thus avoiding subsequent reworking that would add unnecessary time and costs to the finished product.
Materials treated
The coatings we frequently carry out involve materials such as:- plastic films
- canvases and fabrics
- papers and cardboards with weights from 20 to 400 grams per square meter
- polyethylene or silicone-coated papers
- various types of laminates
Resin Coating Process
Coating, also known as resin coating, is an essential process in the production of electronic components, engineering, and many other sectors. This process involves applying a thin layer of resin to a surface to improve its physical, mechanical, and chemical properties. This process can be performed using a variety of resins, including epoxy, polyurethane, silicone, and others, depending on the specific application requirements and desired properties of the final product.
One of the main advantages is the protection of the surface from harmful external agents such as moisture, dust, corrosive chemicals, and abrasions. The resin forms a protective layer that is insulating and waterproof, preventing the ingress of external agents that could compromise the performance and durability of the component. This is particularly important in applications where components must operate in aggressive environments or be exposed to adverse weather conditions.
In addition to protection, resin coating can also improve the dielectric and thermal properties of the component. The resins used in the process are often dielectric, meaning they have low electrical conductivity. This allows them to provide reliable insulation against electrical discharges and short circuits, making resin coating an ideal choice for applications where protection against high electrical voltages is required. Additionally, many resins also have excellent thermal properties, allowing them to effectively dissipate heat and improve the thermal stability of the component.
Another advantage is the ability to enhance the mechanical properties of the component, such as impact resistance and rigidity. The resin forms a layer that envelops the component, increasing its overall strength and rigidity. This can be particularly beneficial in applications where components are exposed to high mechanical stresses or must support significant weights.
Common uses
Resin Coating can also be used to improve the aesthetic appearance of the component, providing a smooth and uniform finish. This is particularly important in applications where aesthetics are important, such as in consumer electronics and automotive sectors. The resin can be colored or transparent depending on customer needs, allowing for greater flexibility in product design.
Finally, it can also be used to enhance the durability and longevity of the component. The resin forms a layer that protects the component from wear and deterioration caused by exposure to external agents and environmental stresses. This can significantly extend the useful life of the component and reduce the need for frequent maintenance and replacement.
In conclusion, resin coating is an essential process in the production of electronic components, engineering, and many other sectors. This process offers a range of benefits, including corrosion protection, improved dielectric and thermal properties, enhanced mechanical properties, improved aesthetic appearance, and increased overall durability of the component. With a wide range of resins available and advanced application techniques, it continues to be an effective solution for improving the performance and longevity of components in a variety of applications.
