ITW Dynatec technology is used for the construction of:

  • Roofing composites
  • Lamination of membranes
  • Edge conditioning of joints
  • Anti-skid coatings for roofers
  • Providing waterproofing

UFD technology utilizes lighter coat weights while providing the same or greater strength needed to sustain the coating in a harsh environment. Faster speeds can achieved with this technology over more conventional methods. With UFD technology, you can bond nonwovens to non-wovens, non-wovens to films, films to rubber, and films to films.

The Dynatec Advantage

Significant adhesive savings. The Apex slot die adhesive applicator’s clean, crisp cutoff creates adhesive savings unmatched in the industry.

Product savings. Apex’s innovative design features, such as reverse-acting modules and optimized channels, minimize not only adhesive waste but also product waste.

Both slot die and UFD fiberized spray can be used, depending on whether the product requires a solid or porous coating or laminating. Beyond outstanding options, such as compatibility with a wide range of substrates, adhesives, speeds, widths and coat weights, these technologies offer the capability of adding characteristics such as waterproofing and skid-resistance coatings.

The Technology: APEX Slot Die

  • Ideal for precise high-speed intermittent applications
  • Optional non-heated die width extension(s) for easier substrate handing
  • Air operated modules feature spring-assist close for precise cut-off
  • Die-lip design prevents build-up of unwanted materials
