Frequently Asked Questions about Electrostatics and Steel Revivals
What is Electrostatic Painting ?
The electrostatic paint process is based upon the fundamental magnetic principal that opposite poles attract. Employing state-of-the-art equipment, we atomize our specialized paint solvents by applying a positive charge to the solution. We then ground the metal workpiece, which creates an electrostatic field between our ‘paint gun’ and the target metal object.
Further atomization of the solvent is achieved as the charged paint particles repel each other to form an extremely fine cloud. The cloud is magnetically drawn to all sides of the workpiece, this "wrap-around" effect evenly covering the most complex objects. Using the best quality in paints and solvents, we take advantage of this technology to apply our finishes smoothly, evenly and virtually overspray free!
What are advantages of Electrostatics ?
Onsite Services: In eliminating over-spray, we can comfortably deliver refinishing services on-site, without impacting your facilities, your employees, other contractors or your valued customers.
Superior Finish: The nature of electrostatic atomization and attraction produces a finish unmistakably superior to alternative applications. The coverage is even, smooth and complete – even on the most complex metal surface areas !
Cost Advantage: Compare refinishing to replacing your metal inventory. Compare with other "painting" options where transport, labor and material costs add up ! We eliminate waste in costly materials and time. The net result is indisputable value.
Environmentally Responsible: Electrostatics is an environmentally responsible way to atomize paint, because it significantly increases quality, while it equally decreases paint waste and VOC emissions.
