SIGNIFICANT QUALITY ENHANCEMENTS IN CALENDARED SILICONE MATERIAL

“Today we are talking about Goodflex’s latest range of calendared material and the significant enhancements we have made in the quality of the material.”

“Yes indeed Matthew, following our investment in a state-of-the-art coating thickness gauge we are now able to accurately measure material thickness up to 0.1 of a millimetre across the entire 35-metre roll.”

“So, in real terms this means that we can provide highly consistent material supported by professional reports detailing mean, standard deviation, highest and lowest reading, presented in easily digestible charts and graphs.”

“Absolutely, and the thickness probe is a revolutionary design that allows us to to scan large surface areas without damaging the material surface. This was unlike the more traditional thickness gauge that was used in the past.”

INCREASED CUSTOMER CONFIDENCE IN CALENDARED SILICONE MATERIAL QUALITY

“Yes, so we are now able to control the material coating using these accurate, digital measurements. This gives our customers a huge amount of confidence in our calendared material.”

“And one of the other great features of this technology is the ease of the multiple calibration methods which ensure the probes accuracy.”

“Yes, the probe that we have chosen is made for non-ferrous soft coatings ideal for calendared silicone material application and provides very temperature-stable measurements.”

“And I understand that we can store up to 150,000 readings in 2,500 batches?”

“That’s correct. It certainly provides our customers with peace of the mind that their calendared material achieves the level of consistency they demand from Goodflex. And we’re happy we can accurately demonstrate that.”
