DE PERE, WI – Babcock & Wilcox MEGTEC (B&W MEGTEC) has developed an exclusive in-house drying lab with a bench-top system for capturing the drying behavior of coatings on web-based substrates using small-size samples approximately 5 inches by 5 inches.
Located in the Development Center at its headquarters facility in De Pere, Wisconsin, the drying lab allows B&W MEGTEC researchers to qualitatively and quantitatively observe drying characteristics critical to early scale-up steps in coating formulation development, dryer optimization and overall process trouble shooting.
