CaPlast coating solutions
Composite materials made of thermoplastics and carrier materials are omnipresent in our everyday life. Whether as a vapor barrier in buildings, rain protection on clothing, or protective packaging for automobiles. For several years now, the trend has been toward multifunctional products with increasingly complex layer structures in order to meet ever-rising quality standards, for example due to changing environmental influences. However, this trend also means that the solutions we manufacture must be recyclable, or better still, reusable. Every day, we face the challenge of developing sustainable solutions and continuously reducing our carbon footprint. Thanks in part to one of the most modern production facilities in Europe, we are able to meet the most diverse requirements quickly, economically, and tailored to each customer. However, one thing always comes before production: expert application advice and information about ecological and economic alternatives
Our technical capabilities in the field of coating
CaPlast has four extrusion coating lines with die widths of 1,650 mm, 1,800 mm, 3,200 mm and 3,500 mm. All of our lines can bond up to three substrate materials together using a thermoplastic coating. Co-extrusion allows us to produce 6-layer composite materials in a single process step.
We use only thermoplastic materials as coating raw materials. Almost any number of raw materials and additives, such as colors and stabilizers, can be combined with each other. The maximum coating width is around 3,400 mm, depending on the coating raw material. On two coextrusion lines, the coating compound can also be separated into up to three layers, for example to integrate specific barrier properties into a film or to separate an adhesive coating on a substrate from the final top coating.
Numerous pre- and post-treatment methods offer further finishing options, and different rollers give the products the necessary properties and the desired finish. This results in high-gloss, matt or embossed surfaces. The products can be printed or cut to the desired final dimensions for multi-purpose applications during the coating process.
Our technical capabilities in the field of finishing/converting
CaPlast has extensive finishing lines of various widths for cutting commercial goods to size, full-surface 2C printing up to a width of 3.3 m, or the application of hotmelt adhesives and adhesive tapes. This finishing is in particular demand for applications with seam sealing or overlapping webs.
Even multiple-use cut-to-size pieces from around 2 cm wide can be produced without any problems. This value-added stage is rounded off by corresponding semi-automatic or fully automatic packaging stations.
Our sister company Now Contec specializes in the conversion and finishing of technical nonwovens and films and complements the CaPlast range with state-of-the-art technical equipment for rewinding, printing, self-adhesive coating, cutting, web folding, and packaging.
CaPlast is part of the Roofing & Waterproofing Division of the Kingspan Group. This gives us access to more than 27,000 colleagues worldwide, enabling our customers to benefit from numerous synergies in R&D, production, purchasing, and application know-how. Our sister companies are an invaluable source of experience and solutions, especially for special applications. Through a central sales organization, we ensure that you always receive the best and most cost-effective solution for your coating task.
Our supply chain management is actively involved at every level of the process. This enables us to ensure material procurement at the most favorable conditions at all times. Our very limited range of proprietary products for construction applications is marketed exclusively through specialist retailers. We would be happy to put you in touch with them.
