Our expertise

Chemical formulation

Specialized in the industrial formulation of inks, the company is the world leader in the manufacture of thermal transfer ribbons. Drawing from its expertise, ARMOR GROUP makes its cutting-edged know-how in chemical formulation available to battery manufacturers.

Over the years, the group has successfully developed an extensive portfolio of conductive particles (graphites, carbon blacks, acetylene blacks, carbon nanotubes, graphenes, etc.) as well as a wide range of binding systems with diverse properties (hydrophilic, hydrophobic…) required by industrial partners.

This work contributes directly to its continuously expanding range of primers, enabling ARMOR GROUP to offer innovative coating solutions to meet the performances required (adhesion, chemical protection, electrical conductivity, etc.).

High precision coating

With its expertise in coating ultra-thin layers on thin films (from 4 to 15 µm) and an annual production of over 2 billion linear meters, ARMOR GROUP offers a wide range of coating and printing techniques for large-scale industrial production, such as flexography, rotogravure rollers, slit die, rotary screen printing and coating, etc.

These various technologies enable the use of a wide range of thin substrates such as metal foils (copper, aluminum, titanium, nickel) and plastic films (PET, PP/PE).

With coating speeds ranging from 80 meters to 1000 meters per minute, ARMOR GROUP develops its own processes and places precision at the heart of its operations. ARMOR GROUP ensures coating quality through an in-line control process over the entire film surface, and quality monitoring throughout the production process (thickness, 2D, visual appearance, etc.).
