Reduce Pollutions from laboratory through application of Innovative Laboratory Equipment

REDUCE harmful materials usage by technology innovation
‍
‍Rethink the concept of thin film deposition
‍
‍Refuse from old spin-coating technique for thin film fabrication
‍
‍Reuse the same process flow for fabrication and save on new process research
‍
‍Replace spin-coater with innovative rod-coater equipment for thin film process
‍
‍Reduce the need of expansive solutions via decreasing material waste= save money & save the planet

FILMS OBTAINED BY ROD-COATING TECHNIQUE
✔️ Rod-coating technique provides full temperature control during wet film formation.
✔️ Allow to obtain constant phase state during coating in order to avoid film scattering and haze.
✔️ Excellent for photonic device fabrication based on polymerizable liquid crystal films.

Films obtained by
spin-coating technique
❌ The thin film is obtained under
non-controlled temperature conditions, resulting intro the ‘coffee grain’ scattering structure of the coated film.
❌ Rectangular substrate typically has non-uniform film at the edges.

ROD-coater vs spin-coater
Significantly reduces the material among required
for uniform film obtainment. Perfect for cost
and waste reduction of thin films R&D and
materials optimization. Helps to save photoresist!
Just use less material and save your money!

- Comprehensive Safety Measures
Minimizes organic solvent vapor, ensuring a secure lab environment with a focus on both efficiency and safety.

- Temperature Control for Consistent Quality
Independent control (RT to 120°C) of table and (RT to 60+°C) of rod ensures stable film quality, regardless of room temperature.

- Waste Reduction and Enhanced Throughput
Efficient material use minimizes waste and increases throughput for processing more film substrates.

- Versatile Coating
with Optimal Wetting
Precise temperature gradient control for various solvents, maintaining optimal wetting across the sample.

- Eco-friendly and
Safe Lab Practices
Aligned with the 'Green Lab' concept,
minimizes organic solvent vapor for a safer, sustainable lab.

- Efficient Material
Use for Cost Savings
Rod-Coating uses 5-10 times less
material than spin-coating, reducing costs and allowing for smaller material volumes.
