Company Overview
Silicone Coat Weight Analysis Solutions
Do you have the coat weight insight you need to catch issues early? As specifications tighten and production demands increase, even small variations in silicone coat weight can affect product performance and create unnecessary waste.
At Applied Rigaku Technologies, we provide energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) solutions that help silicone coaters measure coat weight, maintain consistency, and keep costs in check.
In-line monitoring — Our NEX LS system delivers real-time silicone coat weight measurements in both the cross and machine directions. That means you can catch issues early, respond quickly, and keep production on track.
For mineralogy variations in the substrate, dynamic corrections eliminate the need for taring and improve measurement accuracy. The NEX LS also delivers reliable performance regardless of substrate color or composition and accommodates web widths up to 2365 mm.
Immediate defect detection for roll-to-roll production
Cross-direction and machine-direction profiling
Roll reporting and data logging for traceability and audits
Easy automatic calibration and operation
Dynamic mineralogy variation corrections
At-line verification — Our second-generation benchtop NEX QC II Series analyzers provide fast, non-destructive analysis of ultra-low silicone coat weights for at-line or lab-based checks. Designed for production floors and QC labs, the NEX QC II Series delivers faster results, simpler operation, and strong performance for demanding measurements.
The system also measures Sn, Bi, Ti, Pt, and other catalysts in silicone release coatings. No helium or special sample cups are required, simplifying operations and reducing costs. With easy sample prep and an intuitive touchscreen interface, the NEX QC II Series is easy to learn and operate.
Fast silicone coat weight measurement, including ultra-low levels
Measurement of Sn, Bi, Ti, Pt, and other catalysts
Dynamic mineralogy variation corrections (no taring required)
Easy sample prep with touchscreen operation and built-in printer
No helium, no special sample cups, and no PC required
From real-time monitoring to at-line verification — Used together, the NEX LS and NEX QC II Series give silicone coaters a more complete quality control approach: real-time process monitoring, plus fast at-line verification and deeper analysis when needed.
