Brady Coated Product's custom coating services center around three basic manufacturing capabilities: Compounding, Coating and Converting.
Coatings are measured, mixed, dispersed, and dissolved in batches for primers, topcoats and adhesives in the compounding facility. Batch sizes range from development to production quantities.
Coating methods include slot die, gravure, wire wound rod and reverse roll. A variety of web widths, drying profiles, solvents, coatings, and webs enable Brady to manufacture unique products. Experience in coating a wide range of substrates has resulted in an outstanding record of responsive product development.
In 1998, construction of Brady's second "white room" coater was completed. This 62 inch wide coater with 300 fpm linespeed capability is designed for application, drying, and curing of both solvent and aqueous coatings. Cleanliness is maintained by utilizing class 1000 conditioned air.
Converting capabilities allow handling of coated materials up to 63 inches wide and slitting accurately to narrower finished roll widths. Embossing, perforating and laminating add to flexibility in product design.
