Sampling & Layer Development
With a wide range of equipment

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

We simulate layer stacks and their functionality, produce samples on laboratory and pilot scales, and measure and evaluate coating and substrate properties to meet diverse requirements.

As a result, you can test the coating performance of your product on relevant sample sizes in advance.

The TAC also offers you the chance to develop the product further while your equipment is being delivered. The results from the laboratory can be easily transferred to the equipment due to similar 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 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.

All testing follows customer specifications or DIN standards for stability, corrosion resistance, adhesive strength, and chemical resistance.
