Valmet has entered into an agreement with Tocalo to manufacture DryOnyx H on-site release coating for drying cylinder applications for paper machines in Japan.
Valmet’s DryOnyx H is a special release coating for drying and cooling cylinders. "Its functional surface chemistry has excellent antifouling properties as well as superior doctoring resistance. This means it has a long lifetime and provides extended service intervals," said, Samppa Ahmaniemi, Director of Roll Covers, Valmet.
The DryOnyx H will complement Tocalo's existing on-site range. The operations will commence in early December 2014.
Daisuke Inoue, Supervisor - Global Business Development, Tocalo, said, "We see good market opportunities for this kind of coating service. DryOnyx H has a unique polymer composition which gives it a short coating time. This provides remarkable savings and benefits for on-site work. The coating also has excellent release properties and corrosion resistance. Our license agreement with Valmet will strengthen our position in the Japanese market among paper and board customers."
