Coating Materials

Virtually any rollable/flexible substrate can be thin film coated with a broad range of materials including metals, conductive transparent oxides and dielectrics.

A broad variety of materials can be applied to polymeric films, glass, metal foils and other flexible substrates via our thin film coating processes in batch and narrow to wide format roll-to-roll coating systems. These coatings can add value and impart new properties (e.g., optical, electrical, and environmental) allowing a product to function in challenging environments. Our processes allow single layer to multi-layer coating stacks with individual layer thickness ranging from 100 to 10,000 angstroms to be applied to a broad range of materials. The performance of the coatings is dependent on the quality and properties of the base substrates. For these reasons performance can always vary with the base substrate and not all coatings are compatible with all substrates and deposition processes.
Dontech’s in house thin film vacuum deposition systems let us closely control and customize the coatings and substrates to create ideal solutions. Expertise includes DC and AC sputtering, IAD e-beam evaporation, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) and interfacial engineering via various plasma pretreatments on flexible substrates.
