Effectively Measure Moisture and Adhesive Coat Weight for Labelstock Products
NDC non-contact gauges are designed to directly measure adhesive coat weights for tapes, plus measure labelstock moisture and silicon release coat weight using a single gauge and scanner configuration that provides a cost-effective, low-maintenance system. For applications where a single gauge is not suitable, NDC can provide differential measurements using gauges before and after the coating station. These may be either nuclear or x-ray gauges using same-spot measurement techniques to provide accurate coat weight measurement and control.
Successful labelstock manufacture depends on the accurate measurement of three key properties: moisture content of facing and backing paper, adhesive coat weight and silicone release coat weight. The accuracy and performance of NDC’s gauges for measuring these properties is well-proven. In addition, a full suite of product control strategies are available to flatten the coat profile and optimize coat weight and material usage.
