Explore application & reviewCOATING PROCESS
Coating processes by substrate
Water-based plastic finishes
Identify, clean and prepare the substrate
Apply the selected primer and colour coat
Add a clear coat where specified
Dry or cure within the substrate’s heat limits
Review colour, gloss, adhesion and finish on actual components. Set the layer system and drying conditions from the selected coating specification.
Metal anticorrosion films
Prepare the surface by degreasing and removing rust
Apply by dip-spin, rack dipping or spray
Pre-dry, bake and cool
Repeat as specified, add any topcoat and inspect
Use two coats and two bakes (2C2B) where the selected system specifies it. Confirm thickness, bake temperature and time, friction, corrosion performance and chromium content in the exact material’s TDS and SDS.

Frequently asked questions
What information is needed for selection?
Share the component material and geometry, current treatment, equipment, and required finish and corrosion performance.
Are drying, baking and corrosion specifications common to all materials?
Conditions depend on the material and coating specification. Confirm them in current product documentation and through testing on actual parts.
Can I request documentation or a trial sample?
Provide the application and required quantity. We will identify the material and advise on available TDS, SDS and samples.
