Hot Melts Hold Fast

With radiation-curable (RC) silicones as the liner release coating, energy savings can be significant compared to thermal-cure coating systems. And with in-line coating of silicone and adhesive, cost savings can range 30 percent or more. Equipment for coating and UV curing these silicones can be extremely compact, making retrofitting into existing adhesive coating lines easy. In-line coating equipment is available both for truly high-speed wide-web and narrow-web printing lines.
