Paper & Film
Prevent sticking, improve material flow, and extend equipment life with precision-engineered surface coatings.
Paper and Film Coating Solutions
Whether you’re working with paper, film, foil, or laminates, the key to smooth, consistent production lies in how well your equipment handles materials. In the Paper and Film industry, coatings aren’t just protective, they’re essential to keeping your lines moving and your product quality high.
At Marcote, we supply specialist coating solutions that reduce friction, stop adhesive buildup, and minimise wear across your process. Whether you’re slitting, rewinding, reducing or increasing friction, we help you maintain better control, reduce unplanned downtime, and extend the life of your critical machinery.
Why Coating Matters in Paper Production
In paper manufacturing, large logs of raw paper are converted down into precise, usable formats through a series of high-speed mechanical processes. From initial forming and drying to slitting and packaging, the constant contact between paper and machine surfaces can cause drag, wear, or misalignment.
Coatings play a crucial role in managing friction, controlling product flow, and extending the life of critical components like rollers, guides, and blades.
Key Benefits of Our Coatings for Paper:
- Low-Friction Coatings – Minimise drag and reduce energy use on production lines.
- Traction Coatings – Improve grip in feed rollers without tearing or damaging thin sheets
- Abrasion Resistance – Protects cutting and slitting equipment from fibre-based wear
- Non-Stick Surfaces – Prevent paper dust and fibre buildup on rollers and guides
- Dry Lubrication Coatings – Reduce the need for greases and keep handling zones cleaner
Why Coating Matters in Film Production
Film production involves the extrusion, handling, and converting of highly sensitive materials that are prone to stretching, clinging, or surface damage. Thin films must be moved precisely, without slipping or tearing, making surface behaviour a critical control point.
Marcote’s coatings help maintain consistent web tension, reduce static and sticking, and enable high-speed throughput without material failure.
Key Benefits of Our Coatings for Film:
- Traction Coatings – Maintain consistent feed and control on tension-critical surfaces
- Non-Stick Coatings – Prevent adhesive and laminate buildup during coating or converting
- Low-Friction Layers – Help film glide smoothly through roller paths
- Scratch-Resistant Coatings – Shield soft substrates during slitting and packaging
- Plasma-Reinforced Coatings – Boost durability in high-wear areas like mandrels and rollers
Where Are Coatings Used in Paper & Film Manufacturing?
We apply coatings to components across the entire converting line—wherever materials move, heat, or interact with mechanical parts.
Material Handling & Web Control
- Guide rails
- Feed rollers
- Dead plates
Low-friction coatings keep thin substrates aligned and flowing without snags or damage.
Unwind / Rewind Systems
- Rollers and spindles
- Bearings and plates
Prevent slippage and reduce friction during tension control operations.
Anti-Stick and Anti-Static Surfaces
- Air bars
- Film guides
Fluoropolymer and dry lubrication coatings prevent film from catching or clinging during handling.
Packaging & Lamination
- Heat seal bars
- Laminator plates
Non-stick coatings stop glue and film residue from sticking to surfaces, keeping lines running cleaner and faster.
