Coil
coating is also known as pre-painting’ is the process where big coils of
various materials like cold-rolled steels, copper, aluminum, hot dip galvanized
and stainless steel are coated in a nonstop and highly automated
process before final fabrication steps. There are plenty of
benefits of coil coating, including these five:
- Change normal
into Outstanding
Appliances,
building materials, architectural paneling, signs and displays can become
overwhelming things of beauty with laminate films applied to
the coil coating process. In addition, the look of,
brushed copper, stainless steel, wood grains, and color changing pigments can
be attained simply by using Coil coated metal.
Pre-painted
metal products are durable, and with the suitable surface actions, Coil coated
steel and aluminum can be made almost, waterproof, weatherproof, UV resistant
and Corrosion resistant.
Pre-painted
metal can be recycled without loss of quality. Besides, aluminum and steel frequently
recover their unique performance properties after many times of recycling. About
95 percent of the pre-painted metal that is used in buildings are collected and
recycled after they have done their job. The performance features of most
non-metallic materials degrade after recycling are a loss of strength, aesthetic
appeal and durability.
The
coil coating process is the most efficient and environmentally friendly way to
pre-clean, pre-prime, pre-paint and pre-treat metal. The costs of the coating
must be considered with in-house paint shops like fixed paint equipment costs, labor
costs, inventory costs as well as operating costs since all of these costs are minimized
when the painting process is outsourced to a coil coater.
The
coil coating process is evolving to create higher quality with lower
environmental impact. Some of the up to date innovations are:
- VOC removal: This process collects VOC’s from
solvents in paints as well as uses oxidizers to turn those compounds into fuel
to heal the coating.
- No-rinse pre-treatment: Lots of coil coating
lines have been capable of severely minimize water usage by using this
technique.
3.Curing ovens: Great improvements to the most
energy-severe part of the coil coating process cure paint
in seconds now by
using original induction, infrared or near-infrared curing.
Remember,
architects, consumers and manufacturers appreciate the magnificence of
coil-coated metal, including reliable quality, design flexibility, green
properties and low cost. Prepainted metal allows architects, product designers,
manufacturers and to reinvent products. Original shapes, textures, colors,
patterns and coatings are possible with pre-painted metal.
