Barrier dispersion coating is a Reel-to-Reel converting process where water-based coatings are applied to paper substrates to provide functional barrier properties such as resistance to moisture, grease and oxygen.
Using advanced coating and thermal drying systems, a uniform functional layer is created to ensure consistent coat weight, coating quality and reliable end-use performance.
Water-based barrier coatings are increasingly replacing traditional plastic-based solutions thanks to their improved recyclability, reduced plastic content and compatibility with a wide range of paper substrates, driving new standards in sustainable coating technology and process engineering.
At ILAMCO, we integrate multiple industrial coating technologies for Converting Lines, selected according to formulation characteristics and required product performance, including Mayer rod, blade, air knife, gravure and reverse gravure coating systems, as well as multi-layer coating configurations for advanced converting applications.
Technology selection in coating equipment design is defined by key process parameters such as target coat weight and uniformity, coating rheology and solids content, required barrier and functional performance, and the interaction between application method and drying capacity in industrial coating processes.
A dispersion Coating Line can be designed to include the following sections:
ILAMCO integrated in-line converting processes are designed as modular and fully configurable systems, adapted to specific product requirements and performance targets. The production lines can be configured with multiple coating technologies, double-sided coating capability and modular upgrades that enhance process flexibility, efficiency and scalability in advanced converting applications.
