If paper quality problems and low yields are causing you headaches, it's time for Teflon* MicroCoat Industrial Coating from Holscot.  Chemical and pulp build-up can wreak havoc on even the most efficient pulp and paper operation.  But now Teflon* MicroCoat is all you need to get out of these sticky situations.

Developed exclusively for paper mills by Releco Coatings in Finland in close co-operation with Du Pont and applied under licence by Holscot, this new proprietary non-stick technology provides smooth, continuous release of pulp and chemicals from many areas of the wet end.  And that means fewer stickies for higher quality paper and bigger and better yields.  With Teflon* MicroCoat, you'll be running full speed ahead right down the line!

You can bank on consistently higher quality product when you use Teflon* MicroCoat.  That's because there's less build-up on the equipment and the overall papermaking process is cleaner. 

What's more Teflon* MicroCoat ......

~ Is <5 microns thick, which means roll surface dimensions remain the same and process changes are not needed.

~ Has a low coefficient of friction, which increases the life of doctor blades. In fact, one customer's doctor blade life was increased 10% to 20% on a paper roll coated with Teflon* MicroCoat.

~ Will not sheet off, so you don't have to worry about product contamination. Instead, it settles into the pores of wet-end equipment such as paper rolls.

~ Can reduce draw and decrease line breaks, allowing higher operating speeds and increased yields.  In one press roll application, Teflon* MicroCoat dramatically reduced a customer's draw from 3.7% to 2.5%.

~ Is applied in-house at room temperature without dimensional changes and lasts an average of six months to two years, depending upon application.

~ Helps reduce two sidedness.

~ As local licensees for the UK and Ireland , Holscot have teams of experienced applicators, used to working in Paper & Pulp Mill environments, who can be on-site at short notice.

~ Workers can clean equipment coated with Teflon* MicroCoat using low pressure washers.

~ Teflon* MicroCoat can be applied to any substrate including granite, plastic composites, glass, synthetics and rubber.  In addition, headboxes can be kept free of pulp build up and stickies are prevented from adhering to impression rolls.

Typical Applications:

Headboxes

Upperlips

Cover plates on formers

Canter rolls

The bottom line? Teflon* MicroCoat is the non-stick solution for even your stickiest pulp and paper quality issues.  It's been a life saver for papermakers around the world who want to reduce stickies, increase quality and maximise yields!
