GORELTEX PLANT launched an additional hull painting line
The new powder coating line significantly speeds up the enclosure production process. This means you'll now receive finished products of consistently high quality faster than before.
The paint line consists of a transport system, an automatic wash, a degassing chamber, a paint booth, and a curing chamber. All areas are equipped with modern, high-tech equipment to maintain the highest quality paint finishes.
A multi-stage system for preparing the product for painting (three-cycle washing, treatment with a special solution, and drying) eliminates such problems as uneven coating, poor adhesion, poor corrosion resistance, bubbling, and peeling.
A special powder coating process creates a smooth, hard film on the surface that is resistant to mechanical damage, atmospheric and chemical influences, detergents, and fuels and lubricants. Furthermore, the powder coating layer is thicker than that of conventional liquid paint, enhancing its protective properties.
It's also important to note that the paint contains no toxic or flammable solvents, lead, or chrome pigments. It's completely safe for both humans and the environment.
Antistatic, friction- and spark-proof polymer-epoxy powder coating is used to coat corrosion-resistant modified aluminum-silicon alloy products. The coating is applied electrostatically to a surface pre-treated using a special technology and degreased in several stages.
Main advantages over conventional polyurethane coatings:
- Anti-friction (prevention of sparking upon impact);
- Impact resistance;
- Service life – 30 years;
- Reflection of light and heat;
- Surface smoothing (high resistance to contamination);
- High thermal conductivity (removal of excess heat);
- The coating is applied without primer.
- Resistant to ionizing radiation
- Resistant to constant exposure to sea fog
- Resistant to acidic and alkaline environments
- Resistant to prolonged exposure to low temperatures below -100°C
- Resistant to short-term exposure to extremely high temperatures (flame on a rocket launch pad)
- 50 years of experience in aerospace, maritime, military-civilian facilities and space.
The default coating color is RAL 7035.
ZAVOD GORELTEX CO. LTD. paints equipment batches according to the customer’s RAL code upon request.
