NU-COAT manufacture self-adhesive materials for the sign, display and graphics market for a variety of applications, in specialised and standard constructions.

In addition we produce bespoke self-adhesive products for wider markets.

Putting the right components together is one thing — understanding how they'll behave together is another.

That's where testing comes in.

Adhesive performance isn't simply a question of whether something sticks. How a bond develops, how strongly it holds and how it behaves over time all help us understand how a material is performing.

At NU-COAT, we routinely test and assess our materials and adhesives to understand how different constructions behave.

But testing is about more than producing a set of numbers.

Results need to be interpreted alongside manufacturing knowledge and experience — and considered in the context of what the material is intended to do.

Seemingly small changes to a face film, adhesive or liner can influence the finished material. Testing helps us understand those relationships and make informed decisions about the materials we manufacture.

The numbers matter. Understanding what they're telling us matters more.

It doesn't look much like the adhesive on the back of a self-adhesive film, does it?

This is NU-COAT's UV polyacrylate adhesive before it becomes the thin adhesive layer you normally see — or barely see — in the finished material.

During manufacture, it's coated onto the liner and exposed to controlled UV light. This crosslinks the polymer, creating the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer that will ultimately sit beneath the face film.

It may be almost invisible in the finished product, but its characteristics have an important influence on how the material performs.

There's rather more going on beneath the face film than you might imagine.

You peel it away, throw it in the waste and probably don't give it another thought.

But by that point, the release liner has already done quite a lot of work.

It supports the material through manufacture, printing, handling and application — and different liner constructions can influence how the material behaves along the way.

A white kraft paper liner may provide all the support a material needs, while PE-coated liners can offer additional stability through printer heat and changing humidity, as well as greater resistance to moisture during wet application.

For very clear films, even the surface of the liner can matter. A polyester liner can be used where optimum clarity is required, because the texture of a paper liner can impart a slight surface effect that reduces the apparent clarity of the film.

Structured liners such as our airXit liner can help air escape during application. And even colour can have a purpose — on selected white NU SIGN sign vinyls, a blue liner provides useful contrast during weeding.

The liner may be the part you eventually throw away, but choosing it isn't an afterthought.

By the time you throw the liner away, it's already done its job.

A self-adhesive material is more than just the film you see.

The face film, adhesive and release liner each have a part to play in how the finished material looks, handles and performs. Even the liner — removed before the graphic is applied — can influence application characteristics.

Different applications and substrates call for different material characteristics, which is why the way these components work together matters.

More than just the film.

What does it take to manufacture a consistently reliable self-adhesive material?

The right machinery and quality materials are important, but so is the experience of the people behind the process.

Years of manufacturing knowledge and attention to detail play an important part in bringing everything together and achieving the consistency our customers expect.

For us, Manufacturing Thinking means combining proven processes, quality materials and experienced people — roll after roll.

The smallest manufacturing decisions are often the ones that make the biggest difference.

From material selection and process control to testing and verification, every stage of manufacturing contributes to the consistency and reliability customers expect.

At NU-COAT, product testing helps verify that our self-adhesive materials consistently perform as intended, supporting continual improvement and confidence in every roll we manufacture.

Because good manufacturing isn't built on assumptions. It's built on evidence.

Performance is only one measure of a well-manufactured product.

At NU-COAT, we believe good manufacturing also means carefully selecting materials, meeting recognised standards and maintaining consistent production processes that customers can rely on.

Standards such as REACH and RoHS support responsible material selection and product stewardship, helping ensure our self-adhesive materials are manufactured with consistency, care and attention to detail.

Because good manufacturing is measured by more than performance. It's defined by the thinking behind it.

Every improvement in manufacturing starts with a decision.

At NU-COAT, we manufacture self-adhesive materials for the graphics industry, continually looking for practical ways to improve how our products are made.

One of those decisions was to adopt UV-cured adhesive technology.

By curing adhesive instantly using UV light, rather than relying on large energy-intensive drying ovens, we significantly reduce manufacturing energy consumption while producing a solvent-free, VOC-free adhesive coating process.

It's one example of how thoughtful manufacturing decisions can improve the way products are made without compromising the quality, performance and consistency our customers expect.
