Electronics
Energy cured coatings for electronic components — such as printed circuit boards, optical fibers, conductor wire, LCD panels, and more — offer faster cures and strong adhesion without the risk of damage associated with thermal drying methods. In addition to offering formulations that improve conductivity and lifespan, RDC can formulate electronics finishes that permit etching, component marking, masking, encapsulating, and conformational coating.
Pipe & Tube
Custom engineered energy cured coatings for plastic, PVC, or metal pipes and tubes from RDC improve durability and provide insulating properties. RDC offers specific formulations for steel, aluminum, and many other metal substrates. Your custom engineered metal coating solution will be formulated to add color, gloss, and slip, scratch, or corrosion resistance to the substrate.
Specialty Paper
To enhance its durability, RDC creates energy cured coatings that are applied to printed specialty papers used in a variety of applications. This includes papers used as wraps for flooring transition strips, picture frames and other composite millwork, as well as window coverings, countertops, and traditional printing of brochures and other collateral. These coatings are engineered to add texture, gloss, and improved resilience against wear.
Vinyl
RDC Coatings develops energy cured coatings that meet the exacting specifications of vinyl products (in addition to those found in the flooring industry), including wall coverings, upholstery, decals, wraps, and more. These custom formulated coatings can be used to help the material better withstand scratches, abrasions, scuffs, chemicals, and stains, as well as to increase durability and flexibility.
Benefits of your RDC Coatings’ custom engineered finish.
Regardless of your market, your RDC coating solution will match the individual specifications and requirements of your finishing process, application and curing equipment, environment, and product.
Looking to augment your current coating formula, offer customers new finish choices, or construct a new manufacturing line? Engage RDC Coatings for customer-focused expertise as a key ingredient in your finishing solution. Every new coating project starts with an on-site process audit to evaluate your current finishing line and products. Based on those details, RDC’s engineers create a custom coating whose performance is confirmed in state-of-the-art testing labs. RDC also provides process management and technical support.
RDC Coatings’ finish solutions are created to optimize your application equipment. Each coating’s rheology provides continuous, smooth flow through roll coating, spray coating, curtain coating, or vacuum coating machines — or other application method. To further improve efficiency and productivity, RDC can supply your coating in a variety of container sizes.
When developing your ultraviolet (UV) curable coating, Excimer UV curable coating, electron beam (EB) curable coating, or water-based coating, RDC’s engineering team seeks formulations that cure quickly and consistently, increasing productivity.
Manufacturing operations frequently experience variable temperature and humidity. To compensate for these environmental inconsistencies, RDC engineers your coating to deliver reliable performance throughout the year. Further, RDC’s UV coatings are designed to work consistently, regardless of UV lamp performance and dosage. This ensures that every lot will be the same, whether the bulbs are brand new or not.
Every coating RDC engineers will match your specifications for appearance and performance. This includes resistance to chemicals, scratches, and abrasions. Other customizable finish characteristics include weatherability, gloss, adhesion, and more.
