Paint Pretreatment
NCS | SSI works with EnviroServe Chemicals to offer paint pretreatment, an essential step in surface preparation before painting or powder coating, ensuring superior adhesion, durability, and overall appearance of the final finish. The process is tailored to the specific surface type and coating requirements.
Key steps in the pretreatment process include:
- Cleaning: Thoroughly removing contaminants like dirt, grease, and rust through solvent cleaning, alkaline cleaning, or pressure washing.
- Surface Preparation: Roughening or etching the cleaned surface to promote adhesion using sanding, blasting, or chemical etching methods.
- Conversion Coating: Applying conversion coatings like phosphate, chromate, or oxide to enhance adhesion and corrosion resistance.
- Drying: Completely removing moisture post-pretreatment through air drying, oven drying, or specialized equipment.
- Inspection: Examining the surface pre-painting to ensure it meets required cleanliness and roughness standards for optimal coating adhesion and performance.
The right pretreatment chemistry is crucial for achieving high-quality paint jobs and extreme corrosion resistance. EnviroServe Chemicals offers a wide range of cleaning and pretreatment products tailored to various paint types and metal substrates. Pretreatment options include zirconium, iron phosphates, zinc phosphates, spray wand chemistries, other conversion coatings, final seals/rinses, and plastic pretreatment. With over 20 years of expertise, EnviroServe Chemicals provides superior pretreatment industrial solutions for your production processes.
