The Importance of Pretreatment for Quality Paint & Powder Finishes
Before metal products can be powder coated or sprayed with liquid paint, they have to be pretreated to remove contaminants. Pretreatment is essential to ensuring powder or paint adheres properly to products. It also lays the groundwork for consistent, quality finishes and prevents corrosion from forming on products.
Proper preparation of your product surface goes a long way in determining the quality of your finish. Which method you choose for pretreatment should be largely based on the condition of your substrate, in combination with the performance requirements of your product related to adhesion. By understanding what is needed to pretreat your product, you can ensure optimal results.
In this free guide, woodworkers and other industrial manufacturers will learn how to boost production and increase finish quality by adding a low-temperature industrial oven to their shop layout. Available in numerous sizes and different configurations, low-temperature industrial ovens — also known as drying enclosures — provide a dedicated space for the curing of liquid coatings.
Low-temperature ovens allow manufacturers to keep their paint booths reserved for spraying, which helps prevent production bottlenecks. Additionally, by drying products in a controlled environment, instead of on the shop floor, you can reduce contamination in paint jobs.
Whether you are painting full aircraft or components, the environment in which you apply aerospace and defense coatings is critical to the health and safety of your employees and the success of the final finish.
In this whitepaper, we identify the health and safety hazards of spraying performance coatings, review government regulations and codes, and explain the impact a properly engineered paint environment can have on your business.
Beyond the paint booth, we look at the complete paint process — including prep, storage and curing — and identify ways to optimize production and improve quality.
For woodworkers aiming to take their operation to the next level, having the right equipment for each stage of the finishing process is key to maximize production, increase efficiency and improve finish quality. Proper finishing environments allow woodworkers to get the most out of each paint cycle, as reduced contaminants lead to less rework and cleaner paint jobs. With the right equipment, a woodworker’s production schedule can also be preplanned to create more efficiency, and jobs can be grouped together to increase throughput and minimize production bottlenecks.
Simply put, having the right finishing equipment — in a strategic layout — can boost the bottom line for a woodworking business. From prepping to painting to curing, woodworkers should invest in specialized equipment that allows them to achieve their desired finish quality and production level, in the most efficient manner.
