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.
