Application areas in focus
The areas below are where FOM systems are used most often. They share one requirement: a functional layer deposited at a controlled, repeatable thickness with minimal material loss. Slot-die coating meets it by metering the ink rather than flooding the substrate, so a formulation developed on a few square centimeters transfers to a larger area without being reformulated.
These application areas are examples, not limits. If your field is not listed, our Science & Learning team can assess whether slot-die coating fits your ink or slurry.
Batteries and supercapacitors
Lock mass loading and thickness across Li-ion, solid-state, and supercapacitor electrode builds.
Solar cells
Coat perovskite, OPV, and tandem solar stacks — from a single lab cell toward roll-to-roll.
Defense
From radar-absorbing stealth layers to rugged sensors — uniform, traceable coatings for mission-critical systems.
MedTech and pharma
Sub-micron functional films for biosensors, microfluidics, drug delivery, and antimicrobial surfaces.
Carbon capture & DAC
Coat sorbent, MOF, and membrane layers for direct air capture and CO₂ conversion.
Fuel cells and electrolyzers
Coat catalyst and membrane layers evenly — cutting the precious-metal waste that drives cost per watt.
Advanced materials science
Uniform films for SAXS/WAXS/GIWAXS and synchrotron studies — built for in-situ structural characterization.
Printed electronics
High-precision films for LEDs, OLEDs, semiconductors, and sensors — flexible and wafer-based.
Paper and packaging
Barrier layers, membranes, and dissolvable films for sustainable, smarter paper packaging.
Test your material
Our Science & Learning team runs coating trials on your ink or slurry.
Fast track your project
Every coating project begins with a material, a substrate and a target film. Describe yours and our Science & Learning team will help you find the right equipment for it.
