Cloeren also manufactures dies for specialty coating processes such as proximity coating, slot-die coating or wipe-on coating. Our precision coating dies are used to apply pressure-sensitive adhesives and hot-melt adhesives, as well as aqueous, emulsion, solution and curtain coatings. In the past, these coatings were applied by spraying the materials on a substrate or with various roll coating configurations or with enclosed doctor blade systems. Today, Cloeren dies have improved the application of specialty coatings through innovative designs, including flexible lip dies, fixed-lip slot dies and a variety of custom configurations designed to suit specific customer needs. Cloeren Specialty Coating Dies are manufactured to the most exacting tolerances in our climate-controlled precision grinding and lapping room, where laser inspection certifies dimensional accuracy. We offer a wide range of construction materials to suit your application from mold steel and stainless steel to wear-resistant tool steel.
