NDC gauging solutions are ideal for making labels and tape

Firing Industries offers label/tape solutions by NDC.

NDC Technologies is trusted by customers in many industries for its various gauging solutions, which are available in Canada through Firing Industries. The manufacturer even produces equipment for making labels and tape. Certain NDC gauges are built for direct measurement of adhesive coat weights for tapes, as well as labelstock moisture and silicon release coat weight. Through the high knowledge of its experienced applications engineers, NDC helps to keep tape and labels sticky.

A comprehensive range of options

Gauging solutions by NDC use infrared, nuclear, or X-ray technology to measure coat weight, moisture, and silicon. With a single gauge and scanner configuration, the user benefits from a cost-efficient low-maintenance system. NDC offers differential measurement with gauges before and after the coating station, for applications in which a single gauge is not sufficient. These may be nuclear or X-ray gauges with same-spot measurement techniques to measure and control coat weight accurately.

To manufacture labelstock successfully, a business must determine three key properties for accurate measurement – moisture content of facing and backing paper, adhesive coat weight, and silicone release coat weight. NDC gauges measure these properties with high performance and accuracy. The manufacturer also offers a full suite of product-control strategies to flatten coat profiles and optimize coat weight and material use.

Among the notable advantages of NDC gauges for labelstock and adhesive products: better quality, lower startup times, reduced waste, higher yields, and greater profitability. Firing Industries can supply the following NDC gauging solutions for these applications and many other options:

• FilmPro Infrared Transmission Gauge. High-performance basis weight and thickness measurement for film, sheets, and coatings.
• IG710S Backscatter Gauges. Moisture, coat-weight, and coating/laminate-thickness measurement.
• SR710S Specular Reflectance Gauges. To measure thin coatings on laminates, metals, and metalized substrates.
• OptiMike. High-performance, easy-to-use, on-line direct thickness measurement.
• Beta Transmission Gauges. General-purpose, high-performance thickness and basis-weight measurement.
• X-ray Transmission Gauges. High-performance, expanded-range thickness and basis-weight measurement.
