DAWSONVILLE, Georgia - May 13, 2005 - New Universal Control Coat nozzles from Nordson Corporation (Nasdaq – NDSN) apply hot melt adhesive fibrous coatings that produce breathable, permeable and soft features. The non-contact spray process provides uniform patterns and repeatable bonds on continuous and intermittent web laminations used for high-quality nonwovens and textile products. 

Universal Control Coat nozzles produce patterns with exceptional control of side, leading and trailing edges. By manipulating pattern air flow, users can alter coating density to meet specific product attributes. Adhesive cools before web contact, reducing web distortion on thermally fragile webs or those susceptible to bleed-through.

Nozzles are compatible with several Nordson Universal modules, including the UM25 module for continuous and less demanding intermittent operations, Speed-Coat® module for high-speed intermittent lines, high-speed electrically actuated E400U module, and UM3 modules for metering applications.

Manufacturers can select nozzles in 25-millimeter increments for full coverage or 5-millimeter increments for partial coverage. Partial-coverage nozzles are available in side-justified or centered designs.
