Coating & Laminating – Industry Solutions
If the conventional solution outperforms every other technology, then conventional is fine. But here’s the problem: that’s not usually the case. Our customers tell us that there are major downsides to all conventional adhesive application methods, including roll coating, scatter coating, needle-punching, flame laminating and ultrasonic. They are inefficient, costly, and some even require extreme preventative measures to avoid environmental damage.
That’s exactly the kind of challenge we like and the reason why ITW Dynatec keeps listening, learning and creating industry-changing technology, like our slot die and UFD (Unified Fiber Deposition) application systems. We expand the boundaries of conventional technology in order to bring our customers eco-friendly solutions that exceed their needs and increase efficiencies, saving time and money. Whether you’re joining nonwoven to nonwoven, film to nonwoven, or film to film, laminated products require precision adhesive add-on accuracy in the machine and cross web direction.
Technical Textile
Conventional lamination can be unsafe and inefficient. ITW Dynatec provides safer, cleaner adhesive solutions that boost efficiency in technical textile bonding.
Nonwovens Applications
Apex slot die and UFD spray systems apply adhesive precisely to nonwovens, enhancing flow, quality, and output while keeping waste to a minimum.
Tape & Label
ITW Dynatec supports tape production from 1″ to 60″ with accurate coatings and multiple adhesives for medical, industrial, and pressure-sensitive tapes.
Hot Melt vs. Conventional
Hot melt bonding is safer, faster, and more efficient than roll or flame methods, helping reduce waste, save energy, and improve product quality.
Solution-Based Technology
ITW Dynatec’s adhesive application technologies are engineered for precision, flexibility, and high-performance output across a wide range of materials and industries. Whether you need fiberized spray systems for advanced lamination, slot applicators for seamless high-speed bonding, or powerful adhesive supply units to meet demanding production needs, our solutions are built to optimize efficiency, reduce waste, and deliver unmatched reliability.
UFD Fiberized Spray Technology
- The industry’s most precise applicator for size and placement of multiple fiber size patterns.
- Modular applicators can be combined to build segmented applicators from one to as many as 200 ports.
- Laminated plate technology (LPT) produces monofilament strands of adhesive and uses heated air to elongate those strands and lay them down in random or ordered patterns.
Slot Applicator Technology
- Allows for custom designs and offers multiple hose feed for precision patterns to each adhesive pattern, delivering precision for continuous or high-speed intermittent capability.
- Utilizes extreme high-speed module technology and Eagle Beak die lip technology to provide the best quality intermittent applications and long life.
- Non-Contact, highly accurate slot applicators for wide web coating and lamination. Perfect for applications where the substrate is heat sensitive and a perfect finish is required.
Adhesive Supply Units
- Up to 1,600 lbs (725 kg) hopper capacity
- Pump output rate of up to 1400 lbs/h (635 kg/h) for ultimate performance.
- Patented Melt-On-Demand no char system equipped
- Multiple grid rows for superior melt rate.
Getting Ahead with Superior Technology
ITW Dynatec’s coating and laminating technologies deliver industry-leading advantages:
