ALZENAU, Germany, Oct. 14, 2015 - Applied
Materials, Inc. today announced it has shipped an Applied
TopMet® roll-to-roll
metal deposition system to Jindal Poly Films, a global leader
in PET* and BOPP* films for flexible packaging and labeling
applications. Incorporating Applied's latest innovations, this
TopMet system extends the company's leadership in coating
technology by providing the highest quality aluminum and
transparent films on the industry's widest platform to maximize
productivity for the cost-sensitive barrier coating market.
First introduced for the commercial packaging
industry in 1992, the TopMet platform has had continuous technology
improvements enabling it to deposit consistently uniform, very thin
films with high throughput that provide excellent barrier coatings.
These barriers are essential to protect against oxygen and moisture
in food, medical and pharmaceutical packaging to preserve freshness
and purity and to extend shelf-life. The latest TopMet platform
expands Applied's industry-leading portfolio of roll-to-roll metal
and oxide barrier coating tools used throughout the world for a
wide variety of packaging applications.
"Jindal Poly Films is proud to introduce the
industry's largest and most advanced transparent barrier coating
system to India," stated Mr. S. Balachandran, general manager,
Metallizer Products of Jindal Poly Films. "We have been using
TopMet systems for more than a decade to stay ahead of evolving
market needs, and adding this tool underscores our commitment to
invest in the very best technology that can help drive the
continued success of our customers."
"The selection of our latest TopMet system by
Jindal Poly Films validates the tool's ability to create
exceptionally high-quality barrier films without compromising
throughput or raising operating costs," said Daniel P. Forster,
vice president and general manager, Applied Materials Roll-to-Roll
Coating Products Division. "The fact that Applied has now shipped a
total of 700 roll-to-roll web systems worldwide reflects our
ability to develop reliable and cost-effective tools for mass
production operations."
The TopMet platform delivers outstanding
productivity with fast web coating speed, real-time layer thickness
monitoring to maintain coating uniformity, and a novel
uniform-tension roller design for sensitive, wrinkle-free material
handling. The system's efficient use of power and raw materials,
enabled by advanced high-rate evaporation sources, closed-loop
automatic layer control and high-performance pumping systems,
results in lower operating costs.
