Extrusion coating

When adding an extruded polymer to a substrate, as a part of the extrusion process, the coating of this polymer is done directly from the diehead onto the substrate. The substrate can be a wide variety of materials such as paper, paper board, PE or PP film, aluminium foil, woven fabric and carpets.

Carpet backing coating
When looking to meet your customer demands for a carpet which is not only custom-made but also sustainable and recyclable, the MEAF extrusion lines for thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), thermoplastic olefins (TPO), thermoplastic rubber (TPR) and thermoplastic urethane (TPU) are the answer to your desires.

Our extrusion lines are optimised to work with a variety of materials (even with lower melt temperatures such as PVB and PB1) and are optimised to extrude the thermoplastic directly onto the carpet. In addition to the extrusion, we can also accommodate the integration of a fleece as secondary backing, coating/lamination of the backing with other polymers such as PP or PE and/or filling with high concentrations (≥ 60%) of the backing with a mineral such as CaCo3. (calcium carbonate or talcum).

Extrusion coating lines key advantages:

More output, smaller footprint
Requires less space, lowers CO2 emissions, and improves output as much as 100%;
Lower energy and production costs
Reduces energy consumption by 25 to 65% and cuts OPEX significantly;
Maximize regrind and recycled content
Processes up to 100% regrind while maintaining consistent quality;
Stable temperature control
Maintains precise set temperatures even at lower production temperatures;

Flexible material handling
Process multiple polymers using the same screw and barrel—no need for hardware changes.
Minimal polymer degradation
Low-friction extruder design limits IV drop and maintains material integrity;
Integration of MEAF sheet extrusion line with other coating equipment
