Latest Patents
Anton holds a patent for a "Method for splicing and coating webs as well as a web obtained with such methods." This invention addresses the challenges associated with splicing successive rolls of web material into one continuous web. The method reduces coating defects near the splices by leaving part of the trailing edge of the splicing tape free of adhesive. This design allows air trapped during the coating process to dissipate, thereby minimizing the formation of air bubbles and coating defects. Additionally, the method includes applying an electrostatic charge to the web surface before coating, which further prevents discontinuity defects at high coating speeds.
