Upscaled Curtain Coating Developments at KCL

Curtain-coating development at KCL follows a structured workflow that moves efficiently from laboratory validation to pilot coating trials mimicking industrial processes. This approach ensures reliable scale-up, reduces development risks, and accelerates time-to-market for new coating formulations. Our process begins with laboratory-scale curtain flow testing. At this stage, we prepare a single coating colour, deaerate it, […]
