Polykote has announced the expansion of its coating capabilities for wovens and nonwovens. Having coated these materials for years, the Covid-19 pandemic has brought this capability to the forefront and demand has increased.

Utilizing its new 62” wide coating line, Polykote is able to achieve a higher efficiency than in the past. Additionally its increased tension control and drying capacity has allowed the company to coat a wider variety of substrates.

President John Guzzo says: “Polykote is in a great position to meet the increasing coating requests for woven and nonwoven materials.  We’ve increased our throughput and are pursuing larger volume opportunities. This positions Polykote as an excellent partner for coating and laminating wovens and nonwovens.”

Polykote formulates and produces custom-designed coated materials utilizing unique adhesives or coatings. It can use a customer’s materials only, or combine them with its coatings and adhesives, resulting in a unique product design. Polykote offers short- and long-term coating and converting services.
