uPont Soy Polymers believes a good precoat can set the stage to improve finished sheet qualities. A sub-optimal precoat requires a very good performing (…expensive…) topcoat to overcome any deficiencies. Enhancing the precoat provides opportunities to “lighten the load” put on the topcoat to hit final sheet specifications.

Pro-Cote� provides the water retention and colloidal stability critical to formulating, applying and metering a pre-coat at the highest solids possible. The introduction of a suitable soy polymer to systems provides the opportunity to formulate for:

Higher average application solids (70-71% or higher).

Exceptional fiber coverage and smoothness (equaling that achieved with 100% kaolin-containing systems).

Excellent water holding; coating does not dewater beyond its ultimate limit for stable running and cleaner blade runnability.

Consistent coat weight profiles across machine.
