Frequently Asked Questions

Performance Coatings

How do you control your coating thickness?
Many parameters effect thickness such as number of passes per coat, number of coats applied, viscosity of the coating, temperature of the coating, humidity, substrate being coated, final thickness to be achieved and final tolerance to be met. Please contact our Technical Sales Representative for detailed information

Do you price out a job by the square inch, square foot, etc.?
Almost every job has unique characteristics, consequently square inch or square foot costs do not apply. Each job is based upon quantity, incoming inspection, surface preparation, coating requirements, tooling, inspection methods, special handling and packaging methods all of which effect final costs. Please contact our Technical Sales Representative for a comprehensive coatings solution

What is normal surface preparation?
Proper surface preparation is essential for the success of any protective coating system. There is NO such thing as normal surface preparation as it is dictated by both configuration and customer specification. You can contact our Technical Sales representative for detailed advice on surface preparation

How can dry times be decreased?
The acceleration of drying is dependent on the chemistry of the specific coating that has been applied. Some products can be accelerated using a catalyst, others by temperature. Consult the technical data sheet and Our Technical Sales Representative to find a method suited to your coating needs

How strictly do I need to adhere to mix ratios?
It is very important to follow the mix instructions as precisely as possible. The mix ratio for base, hardener and activator is determined by the chemistry of each. Improper amounts of base or hardener will leave some of the resins un-reacted which will lead to drying, curing, and performance problems. Consult our Technical Sales Representative for a customized solution to your coating requirements

What types of pretreatment chemicals are needed?
Few metals require special processing like brass, but for most metals you need a degreaser and sometimes an adhesion promoter. Contact our Technical Sales Representative for detailed information
