Sampling & Layer Development
With a wide range of equipment

At our Technology & Application Center (TAC), we work togehter with you on the next generation of your coating applications.

From the simulation of layer stacks and their functionality, to sample production on a laboratory and pilot scale, to the measurement and evaluation of coating and substrate properties: We are prepared to meet a wide range of requirements. This gives you the opportunity to test the function of the coating for your product in advance on relevant sample sizes.

The TAC also offers you the chance to develop the product further during the time it takes to deliver the equipment. The results from the laboratory can be easily transferred to the equipment due to the similarity of the processes.

Several coating systems are available for substrates such as glass, polymer film, metal strip and silicon wafers. For basic testing, we use very flexible laboratory systems with smaller substrate formats. Thus, we are able to quickly define the appropriate parameter windows.

As a next step, we can offer pilot runs on our in-house inline systems with larger substrates. This enables us to determine the fit with your process sequences through to the product. During this process, it is also possible to carry out further investigations of the samples.

This happens in accordance with customer or DIN standards regarding stability, corrosion resistance, adhesive strength and chemical resistance.
