Painting and Curing
Our painters man the two spray booths to oversee the coating process, ensuring that the automated electrostatic equipment performs as expected, whilst also manually 'touching-in' as appropriate. The painters work to exacting standards to ensure consistent quality and a durable finish.Our usual coating observes a minimum thickness of 40 microns, although 60 micron coating for Industrial/Marine/Swimming Pool environments is also carried out where requested. All coating is guaranteed for up to 30 years.
We can coat a wide variety of colours and carry many RAL and British Standard colours in stock, as well as special 'house' matts and metallics from the Dupont, Syntha Pulvin, Tiger, and Interpon D systems.
When a thermoset powder is exposed to elevated temperature, it chemically reacts to form a higher molecular weight polymer in a network-like structure, a process known as curing. Curing requires a certain temperature for a certain duration in order to obtain optimum results. We closely monitor our ovens using temperature profiling and data logging equipment from Datapaq to ensure excellence in this respect.
