Dent Resistant Coating Technology is a two-layer system consisting of an elastomeric base coat and a dent resistant top coat. The base is a 0.25–2.0-mm-thick layer of silicone that has a thermal conductivity of 0.3–0.8 W/mK and a hardness of 20–70 Shore A. The top layer is a 20–50-µm film coating of fluropolymer with low surface tension that enhances release properties. The technology is applicable to many monochrome and color environments, and can be applied to various substrates, including aluminum and steel inserts, as well as stainless steel, nickel and polyimide belts.
