OptiCoat Roll coating

Uniform and smooth coating quality

In OptiCoat Roll blade coating, an excess amount of coating color is applied to the paper/paperboard surface. Final coat weight is then controlled by a metering roll. Roll coating gives the best possible surface smoothness of any coating method - the coating quality is very uniform.
