R2R Hybrid Coater
The Darly Hybrid Multi-Layer (HMLTM) Vacuum Web Coater is leading the way for innovation of vacuum deposited organic and inorganic coatings onfilm substrates. The continuous roll- to-roll HMLTM process is suitable for large scale production of high quality thin films with unmatched production efficiency and product development capability.
A multi-layer, organic - inorganic - organic, structure is deposited on films at high speeds in a single pass with zero pinholes. The HMLTM process applies the organic material contained within the vacuum chamber which provides significant advantages over traditional solvent based deposition methods, thus decreasing production costs and reducing environmental impact.
