Filtration Solutions for Coatings and Paint Manufacturers
The quality of coated or painted surfaces is significantly impacted by the level of particulate contamination present in the coating or paint. If contamination is not controlled during manufacturing, storage, or transportation, the final surface finish will suffer, leading to a diminished visual appearance.
Common issues include uneven coatings, cratering, and surface blemishes. Additionally, particulate contamination can cause paint spray nozzles to become blocked, resulting in operational downtime, product delays, and higher maintenance costs for paint and coating facilities.
Filtration Products to Address Coatings and Paint Challenges
Removing Coagulated Pigments: Depth filters are effective at removing coagulated pigments, ensuring a smooth and blemish-free final finish.
- Depth Filters
- Single Industrial Housing
Preventing Nozzle Blockages: Bag filters are designed to prevent nozzle blockages, improving service intervals and reducing maintenance costs.
- Bag Filters
- Industrial Bag Filter Housing
Maintaining Mixing Tank Purity: PP filters are utilized on paint return loops to enhance mixing consistency and keep the mixing tank free from contaminants.
- PP Pleated Depth Filters
Applied at various stages to ensure the cleanliness of the entire process:
Incoming Raw Materials: Filtration of solvents and water before they enter the production process.
After Paint Mixing: Filtering the paint after mixing to remove any contaminants introduced during the process.
Before Paint Spraying: Ensuring the paint is free from particulates before it is sprayed.
Return Loop to Mixing Tank
Material Selection Based on Paint Type:
Water-Based Paints: Polypropylene filters are chosen for their compatibility with water-based paints.
Solvent-Based Paints: Nylon filters are used for solvent-based paints due to their chemical resistance.
Both types of filters are available in a wide range of micron ratings to suit different chemistries and ensure effective filtration.
