Pre-treatment Facilities
Powder Coating Pre-Treatment Plant multi stage Process (PHOS-PREP):
PHOS-PREP PP 932 Low Foaming Heavy Duty Cleaner
The PHOS-PREP® PP 932 sulphuric acid based cleaner/etch has been specially formulated to remove scales and tarnish from aluminium to produce a chemically clean surface.
PHOS-PREP PP 920 NF Dry-In-Place Polymer
PHOS-PREP® PP 920 is a “dry-in-place” replacement for chromate-based products for the pre-treatment of aluminium and aluminium alloys.
PP920 provides excellent adhesion and corrosion resistance after subsequent painting or powder coating.
Full Shot Blasting Facilities
The business has installed a new purpose built shot blasting room which is capable of dealing with items up to 7 metres in length.
The room has been fitted with state-of-the-art extraction equipment, installed in full compliance with the latest Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines. This ensures the effective removal of airborne contaminants, maintaining a safe and healthy environment for all personnel working within the space.
Cold Galvanising Facilities
The environmentally friendly Cold Galvanising System is a one pack coating that provides cathodic protection to ferrous metals and an ideal primer for powder coating.
It can be applied by brushing, spraying and as an aerosol, it is therefore ideal for all ferrous metals and avoids the need for hot-dip galvanisation or metallisation
The system, used is known as the Zinga system, is not toxic and can be used with potable water, in accordance with the standard BS6920.
This system is an alternative to Zinc hot dip galvanising where the waste product is hazardous and has to be disposed in accordance with the statutory regulations.
Powder Coating Facilities
The powder coating facilities comprise an Automated Powder Coating 50 metre Conveyor Plant capable of handling items up to 6 metres in length.
The newly installed plant as the most efficient burners, enabling a faster through put and hence increased capacity.
There are three static ovens capable of dealing with items up to 7 metres in length.
All the ovens are equipped with the latest extraction equipment making for a comfortable environment for the experienced staff to work in.
