We implement thermoplastic or reactive adhesives through direct printing of moving webs via anilox gravure roll, which is then combined under controlled conditions. Shawmut maintains a portfolio of applicator rolls with various discontinuous patterns to achieve a diverse range of adhesive laydowns and coverages that influence physical properties and performance. This textile technology platform can process advanced materials utilizing a roll coating methodology, enabling the application of a continuous coating of adhesive or polymeric compounds.
