Teknek to Present at AIMCAL Web Coating Conference
Glasgow, United Kingdom, September 17, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Sheila Hamilton, technical director of Teknek, is to present a technical paper at the AIMCAL (Association of International Metallizers, Coaters and Laminators) Web Coating Conference in Reno, Nevada (October 23-26).
Teknek is the global leader in contact cleaning and yield improvement technology and the presentation will focus on the appropriate application of contact cleaning within the production of coated products. In particular the talk will look at the impact of contamination in emerging technologies such as OPV (Organic Photovoltaic) and plastic electronics where the requirement for high barrier coatings means that even miniscule defects are detrimental to product lifespan.
Ruaridh Nicolson, Teknek’s sales and marketing manager said: “Independent research produced by DuPont Teijin Films1 has proven that contact cleaning is more efficient than traditional vacuum systems, in fact on average 30% better.”
He added: “Our equipment is based on many years of research and development into polymer science to produce the optimum cleaning core. This engineered technology will produce dramatic yield improvements when cleaning technical films. With over 20 years working in this sector, Sheila is very capable of presenting our technology and the benefits it brings.”
