Contemporary Manufacturing

Our Core Values

Global Expertise

• Internal R&D

– We know our stuff

• Rollers and Adhesive

– Dr June Calliston Polymer Expert

– Sheila Hamilton Engineer and 28years roller experience

– Steve (Technology) Mitchell (Physicist and Chemist)

• Products

– All the above plus Roy, Hunter, Callum and many more

• External collaboration

– Teknek works with the best Universities and

companies to develop the science

What are we saying?

• Cleaning is difficult but we understand it

– The Science of Cleaning

• Contact Cleaning Conceptual Framework

• Model developed by Teknek & University of Sheffield

– Key Scientific Outcomes

» Cleaning efficiency≠ Shore Hardness

» Contact pressure ≠ Cleaning efficiency

» Processing ≠ Cleaning

» More rollers ≠ More Cleaning

What are we saying 2

• Not all cleaning rollers are the same

– Here's the big science stuff

• Topographic mapping & Atomic Force

Spectroscopy has lead to advanced roller surfaces

which have unique properties

• Smooth tacky rollers don’t work best

• Our roughest rollers work best – why?

– Its complicated don’t worry we understand it, our

competitors don't

Less Talk – More Action

• Silicone Free Cleaning Engine– Silicone free cleaning rollers

– Silicone free adhesive• Silicone free confirmed by

– FTIR,

– Edx (Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy)

– RGA (residual gas analysis)

• Nanocleen

– Static dissipating NO conductive particles – clever

polymers not cheap additives

– Dyne Neutral, contact angle (Measurements on PET)• Uncleaned contact angle 71.57, SD +/- 1.49

• Cleaned with Nanocleen 71.80, SD +/- I.46

These are hi tech

methods

Scale

• Big is sometimes Beautiful?!

– To supply good rollers you have to MAKE

many not BUY many

• In 2013 will MAKE over 10,000 rollers

– To be able to produce reliable adhesive you

have to Specify the paper the adhesive, the

production process etc. etc.

• In 2013 we will make around 1.2million sq. metres

Trust in us – Teknek Brand• We tell the customer Teknek is best, they

say prove it, OK we will

– All rollers are made to International Standard– ISO 6123 Rubber or Plastics covered rollers -Parts 1,2 & 3

– Rollers used above 200mtrs per min are balanced to ISO 1940-1:2003 G6.3• Large rollers now available at G2.5

– We test, everything

• Rollers for pick up, leach, straightness, TIR etc.

• Adhesive for pick up, sheer, peel, etc.

– Tested to FTM 1,8,9 &12 (International Standards)

• And we test all competitors the same way so we

speak with facts

• And customers what do they say?

What Next• A Vision, a dream, an adventure

– So much for working!!

• Introducing Hi-Tek

• A philosophy, a vision, a brand, a crusade– Teknek has a superior technical offering and that offering is compelling

to the vast majority of the market

• A portal– A method by which customers can access, learn and use the

information to make informed decisions

• A good friend– Hi-Tek will help build confidence and enthusiasm in our staff such that

they go onto to enthuse other and in doing so further build the value of

Teknek.

Adhesion Forces

• Adhesion describes how a particle and a surface are

held together

• A number of different forces will act together to produce

the adhesion force combination

• Two bodies in contact, an attractive force occurs that

requires a mechanical load to separate them

• Strength of adhesion is determined by how strong the

interactions are

Knowledge is Power

• Calculating each individual force makes up the total

adhesion force

• Force is dependent on size of particle, type of particle

and surface, environmental conditions, shape of particle

• Gives an indication of force needed to remove particles
