Consistent across all production volumes and chemistry types — these are the foundational ROI drivers.
60%
Floor Space Reduction
Elimination of solvent coating booth, dryer ovens, and recovery systems
20%
CAPEX Reduction
Lower equipment cost vs. wet line of equivalent capacity
55%
CO₂ Emissions Cut
Combined reduction from energy efficiency and NMP solvent elimination
Process Comparison — Wet vs. Dry
How the two manufacturing approaches differ at the process level.
| Process Factor | Wet (NMP Slurry) | Dry (Solvent-Free) | Delta |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manufacturing footprint | Baseline | −60% | ↓ 60% |
| NMP solvent requirement | High — $200K–$800K/yr | Zero | ↓ 100% |
| Energy consumption | Baseline (dryer-heavy) | −30% | ↓ 30% |
| CO₂ emissions | Baseline | −55% | ↓ 55% |
| Capital equipment cost | Baseline | −20% | ↓ 20% |
| Regulatory solvent risk | REACH / EPA exposure | Eliminated | ✓ None |
