The more you know about slot die coating equipment, the more successful your product development efforts will be through lab scale, pilot scale, and production scale.

Coating defects are annoying, costly, and cause many headaches for operators and engineers. Learn tips from Mark Miller in this episode on how to stop defects before they start.

Learn more about the industries that use slot die coating in their production process and when you should consider slot die coating technology for yours.

Today's slot dies are designed to work with your specific fluid, so the entire process starts with an understanding of that fluid. Today complex materials are coated on a wide range of substrates, but each process begins with the rheology of the fluid. You do not need to be an expert, but a basic understanding of rheology will help you become more successful at slot die coating.

Start with the basics and learn about the first steps to get started with successful slot die coating from training, to who needs it, and what affects the success of your coating. Our resident expert and co-founder, Mark Miller, will help you navigate the world of slot die coating technology.

Let's start at the beginning and define what a slot die is, what are its capabilities, and in what applications is it used? Learn that and more from your expert host from Coating Tech Slot Dies, Mark Miller.

The concept behind TWOSD is that when a slot die is engaged with a precision backing roll you have a metal roll and a metal slot die that are within microns of each other.  The thinner you want to coat, the closer you have to get.  This is a dangerous proposition for two expensive pieces of equipment.
