Coat for Conductivity
Company reports a method to coat transparent conductive coatings as a cap layer over a dielectric stack. This allows a single element or material to perform the dual functions of light filtering and EMI shielding. Coatings are designed for maximum conductivity and can be applied to flat sheet stock or precision optics.

Create Many Effects
The Cast and Cure decorative coating process integrates the two processes to form a high quality surface that can include ultra-high gloss, matte, and holographic finishes on a variety of substrates. Effect can be created in both sheet- and web-fed flexo and gravure environments. Can be incorporated with anti-counterfeiting features and is said to be environmentally friendly if used with UV inks and coatings. Can make packages more recyclable by eliminating laminated metallized films used in traditional holographic processes.
