Teknek technical director to speak at AIMCAL conference

Sheila Hamilton, technical director of Teknek, a manufacturer of contact cleaning and yield improvement technology, is to present a paper at the AIMCAL (Association of International Metalizers, Coaters and Laminators) web coating conference in Prague on June 10-13 2012.

Hamilton will present a paper on recent research carried out into how to enhance the contact cleaning system for operation within a vacuum.

Sheila Hamilton commented: ‘Appropriate application of contact cleaning within production of coated products can significantly reduce defects caused by particulate contamination.  In the emerging technologies such as OPV, plastic electronics and displays there is a requirement for high barrier coatings where even tiny defects are detrimental to product lifespan.

‘For optimal barrier coating cleaning, it is essential to clean within the vacuum chamber immediately before the deposition of the coating.  My paper will examine how this can be achieved using contact cleaning technology within the vacuum.’
