Cataphoretic electrocoating
This is currently the most up to date and the most effective technology of protection against rust for various types of metal products. The outcome cataphoretic layer is smooth, homogenous and of same thickness / covers sharp edges /. It has ver good mechanical parameters – it is characterised by high hardness, pressure resistance, elasticity, resistance to shock and very high durability in salt chamber. Moreover, it protects against chemical reactions and mechanical damages. The paint used for electrocoating is of low environmental harm and low fire risk.
The process of electrocoating is done practically without personnel assistance. The elements are moving on a conveyor through each of the process devices, where the technological operations are made, i.e. degreasing, activation, phosphating, dipping in paint and drying. We are currently using the newest generation of PPG paints for electcoating.
Our technological process allows for achieving a cataphoretic layer meeting the following requirements:
- layer thickness 18 – 30 µm,
- high resistance to salt mist – the application of proper materials allows for achieving rust resistance up to 1000 h in slat chamber,
- black or grey colour.
The products protected by electrocoating are the best base for surface layer painting by pneumatic spraying, electrostatic or dry painting.
Surface layer painting
Surface layer painting is done in a modern paint shop, using the technology applied generally for automotive body panels painting.
During the whole process of painting, a conveyor moves the elements between the sequential process centres.
We are using thermally hardening enamels produced by PPG. Immediately after painting it is possible to perform conservation coating of all closed profiles.
