• Application development labs supporting coating and lamination system evaluation
• Pilot-scale coating equipment that replicates commercial operating conditions
  • Pilot-scale coating for barrier coating evaluation and validation
  • Development-stage lamination trial capabilities (wet/dry) for adhesive system evaluation
• Test-to-scale development support
• Global facilities supporting customer collaboration and scale-up

Note: Pilot-scale capabilities apply to coating operations. Lamination capabilities are focused on development-stage material and adhesion evaluation during development-stage trials. This approach allows early-stage adhesion feasibility to be evaluated before commercial-scale implementation.

Our global laboratory and pilot-scale network supports application development, performance evaluation, and scale-up activities across key regions. Application development labs support the refinement and evaluation of coatings and lamination systems on realistic substrates, while pilot-scale coating facilities support scalability evaluation under commercially relevant conditions.

Application Development Labs:

• Midland, MI, USA
• Rheinmünster, Germany
• Shanghai, China

Pilot-Scale Coating Facilities:

• Midland, MI, USA
• Rheinmünster, Germany

Examples include coating programs and development-stage lamination evaluations conducted to support the transition to commercial production.

• Flexible pilot-scale scheduling
• Iterative development support
• Commercially relevant validation workflows
