Roll Coating
Energy cured roll coating finishes that optimize your manufacturing process.
RDC Coatings is your reliable source for high-quality, durable, and buildable roller coatings, including primers, stains, fillers, sealers, and top coats.
Energy cured coating formulations specially created for roll coating equipment can deliver both optimal performance and operational efficiency. Roller coating equipment applies a uniform layer of coating onto flat substrates. The coated material then passes through an energy curing system — such as ultraviolet (UV), Excimer UV, electron beam (EB) — to instantly cure and solidify the finish. This enables faster processing time and increased throughput in millwork, furniture, cabinetry, flooring, and hardwood plywood finishing applications.
Whether your roll coating process handles wood, vinyl, metal, plastic, or other specialty substrate, RDC Coatings can formulate a premium roll coating solution that enhances your operation. Our industrial roll coating solutions include environmentally friendly primer, stain, filler, sealer, and top coat formulations in both 100% solids and water-based (WB) formats. These finishes can also be specified in a wide range of colors and varying degrees of gloss.
Your RDC roll coating’s chemistry will be specially engineered with optimal rheology to deliver nearly 100% transfer efficiency. It will also provide excellent hold out and a high build look at lower film thicknesses. Finally, your custom, energy cured roll coatings will deliver exceptional durability that resists chemicals, abrasions, and scratches.

Partner with RDC Coatings for roller coating solutions that meet the specific requirements of your manufacturing process, application and curing systems, environment, and product.
Whether you’re considering changing your existing roll coating formula, developing new finish options for your customers, or designing a new manufacturing line, RDC’s customer-focused expertise is here to help. You’ll experience initial, on-site process audits conducted by RDC to assess your coating line and finished products. Based on that information, RDC’s engineers formulate your custom roller coating and confirm its performance across state-of-the-art testing labs. Additionally, RDC offers both process management and technical support services.
RDC Coatings’ engineered roll coatings are formulated to improve your application equipment’s output. To enhance application consistency, each coating’s rheology is customized for your machinery. Further, your roller coating solution can be provided in different container sizes, optimizing your roll-to-roll process throughput and productivity.
Your ultraviolet (UV), Excimer UV, electron beam (EB), or water-based coatings from RDC will deliver fast curing, even surfaces in less time. Already using a UV curing process? RDC’s UV roller coatings are designed to perform consistently, whether the UV bulbs are brand new, or are generating variable doses as they age. RDC’s chemistry ensures better lot-to-lot consistency.
RDC Coatings understands that not every manufacturing facility is climate controlled. Therefore, your roller coating’s chemistry is engineered to perform consistently across variable temperatures and humidities — from high to low — year-round.
Whether you’re roll coating primers, stains, fillers, sealers, or top coats on your products, each RDC finish will match your specific parameters. This includes resistance to chemicals, scratches, and abrasions, as well as improved weatherability, degree of gloss, adhesion, and more.
The roll-to-roll coating process is designed to maximize efficiency by continuously applying coatings to moving substrates. This advanced roller coating process ensures uniform coverage while maintaining high production speeds.
