Coating & Filming Technology

Engineered for Precision. Designed for Performance.

Cygnet Texkimp designs and manufactures some of the most advanced coating and filming systems available today, delivering precision, repeatability, and control for both the composite prepreg sector and the broader wide web converting industries.

Our technologies are engineered to achieve exceptionally uniform and ultra-thin coat weights, enabling manufacturers to produce lighter, stronger, and higher-quality materials while improving process efficiency and consistency.

Whether developing aerospace-grade prepregs, technical textiles, or functional films and foils, Cygnet Texkimp’s coating systems provide the accuracy and process reliability that leading manufacturers depend on to maintain their competitive edge.

Every Cygnet Texkimp coating and filming system is the result of decades of engineering excellence, deep process understanding, and a commitment to continuous innovation.

Our technologies are modular and customisable, enabling seamless integration into new or existing production lines. They are designed not only to achieve industry-leading coating accuracy but also to optimise throughput, reduce waste, and enhance sustainability across the full spectrum of composite and converting applications.

By combining mechanical precision, digital control, and process intelligence, we help manufacturers achieve the perfect balance between quality, efficiency, and innovation — coating by coating, line by line.

Our Reverse Roll Coater is a high-precision resin application system engineered for the aerospace and high-performance composites markets.

Designed to achieve exceptionally low and repeatable coat weights — as little as 5 gsm (grams per square metre) — this machine ensures uniform resin distribution across even the most sensitive substrates, delivering flawless surface quality and consistent performance.

Each system is built around precision-ground coating rolls, available in ceramic or chrome-plated finishes, with integrated resin mixing, metering, and delivery systems for complete process control.

For flexible manufacturing, the platform can operate in forward or reverse roll configurations, giving users the ability to fine-tune coating performance to suit their specific resin system, substrate type, and production rate.

Key benefits:

  • Ultra-precise coat weights for aerospace-quality prepregs
  • Uniform resin distribution and film thickness
  • Controlled resin delivery and temperature stability
  • Compatible with thermoset and thermoplastic systems

Our Blade and Roll Over Roll Coating systems provide a cost-effective, robust solution for applying medium to high coat weights of high-viscosity materials.

These technologies are particularly suited to textiles, woven fabrics, and uneven substrates, where consistent coverage and controlled penetration are essential.

The process allows precise adjustment of the coating gap and blade pressure, ensuring consistent deposition across complex surfaces and maintaining product uniformity at high production speeds.

Applications include:

  • Coating textiles and woven fabrics for composite or industrial use
  • Applying adhesives, binders, and resins with controlled thickness
  • Creating protective or functional surface finishes

The Powder Scatter system from Cygnet Texkimp is designed for the uniform application and fusion of thermoplastic powders onto fabric substrates, typically glass or carbon fibre.

By combining our extensive experience in web handling, fibre alignment, and process control, we’ve created a system capable of delivering exceptionally accurate powder dispersion — a critical factor in achieving consistent product quality.

The powder is evenly distributed across the substrate before being heated and fused to form a consistent bonding layer. This technology is widely used in composite material production, interlayer films, and thermoplastic bonding applications, where uniformity directly impacts mechanical performance and surface finish.

Advantages:

  • Extremely uniform powder distribution
  • Precise control of powder feed and fusion temperature
  • Suitable for thermoplastic materials such as PA, PEI, PPS, and PEEK
  • Ideal for preforming, bonding, and laminating composite fabrics

Cygnet Texkimp’s Slot Die Coating technology offers one of the most accurate and repeatable methods of resin or adhesive application available.

This enclosed system enables precise resin metering and temperature control, ensuring uniform film thickness and minimising environmental exposure — particularly valuable when working with reactive or high-temperature resins.

The slot die and resin feed system are engineered for high accuracy, allowing a wide range of substrates — from papers, foils, and polymer films to unidirectional carbon and glass fibres — to be coated with exceptional consistency.

Benefits:

  • Fully enclosed coating environment to protect resin integrity
  • High precision resin flow and application control
  • Suitable for a wide range of resins, adhesives, and thermoplastics
  • Uniform coat weights for thin-film and advanced composite applications
