Process Control
D&K Coating Technologies offers state-of-the art custom coating process control.  D&K's industry-leading coaters feature fiber optic PLC controls that ensure a consistent coating thickness profile throughout the manufacturing process.  PLC controls regulate all coating operations including tension, speed, temperature, air flows, oven pressure, rate of evaporation, and roll size.  An integrated beta scanner also continuously measures coat weight application and allows for precision adjustments to the coating die.

Quality Assurance
After a raw material has been specified by the client, D&K accepts deliveries with a supplier's Certificate of Analysis.  Raw materials are also randomly checked for appropriate quality characteristics.  This ensures consistent product performance that meets all client specifications.

Final Product Sampling
D&K performs quality assurance testing on every master roll until process capability has been demonstrated.  After process capability has been confirmed (typically after 30 master rolls), QA testing will be performed on every third master roll.

Typical Master Roll Testing

Master rolls are tested for adhesive and physical properties including peel, shear, thickness, gloss, etc.  A certificate of analysis and a yield/material inventory report will be available within seven days after a run.

Roll Reporting

Three cross web samples from the end of each roll are retained and stored for two years.  Each roll includes a roll report and a 1D or 2D defect map in the packing list.
