In order to protect a surface as effectively as possible against as many risk factors as possible, it can be subjected to various processes in which it is finished, cleaned, treated or painted with certain substances to give it the necessary resistance. Whether it is a question of impermeability, resistance to corrosion, frost, excessive heat or mechanical factors, a company specialised in this field can offer you the best solutions for the preparation and treatment of a surface, whether it is metallic or made of another material, such as glass, plastic or wood, for each of which there are various procedures that can be applied.
The first and perhaps most important process in treating a surface is cleaning it.
In this step various substances are applied to the surface to remove grease stains and other unwanted substances and materials. Quality, industrial-grade solutions are used, after which the surface is thoroughly washed with water and then analysed. Only when it is found that the surface has been cleaned properly can the next step be taken, which is the removal of certain defects or other aspects such as an old layer of paint or other material that was used to protect the surface. The most effective process in this respect is sandblasting, whereby rough particles are blown onto a certain surface with a powerful jet of air. This method is especially useful for parts already assembled where no other process can achieve better cleaning and repair in interior or hard-to-reach spaces.
The surface left after blast cleaning is not smooth to the touch nor is it glossy or pleasant in appearance but rather rough, like particles blown onto its surface. This is necessary, however, as it provides an even better base for the various protective layers to be applied in the following steps. Thus, even if the surface is not uniform, by applying several coats, using state-of-the-art equipment, it can be brought to this point. By doing so, any remaining defects can be covered and the resulting surface will have the desired appearance, the desired colour and a very high resistance to the factors for which it has been treated.
A very efficient process by which a part, a surface, both metallic and of other nature, is given both a high mechanical resistance and a high resistance to various chemical and other factors, is electrostatic field painting. This refers to the application of one or more layers of paint charged with electric particles to a surface which is in turn charged with electric particles. This process ensures a very low paint loss and a much higher efficiency than other painting methods, especially if the surface to be painted is uniform.
After painting, the surface is placed in another special chamber where it is also heat treated and thus the paint applied will withstand very high temperatures as well as very low temperatures, along with much higher mechanical stresses, especially in the case of metallic materials. This method of painting is therefore very useful in areas where parts and structures are subject to constant action and ensures a longer life and thus lower maintenance and replacement costs for those who need them.
If you choose a quality electrostatic painting you can get the best results in treating or painting a surface.
Even if initially, electrostatic field finishing was used for metal parts, it could be adapted later on for other materials, by applying specific solutions by which they could be electrically charged with a negative charge so that the paint could adhere as well as possible to those surfaces.
Where many metal parts and rings are used constantly, on a daily or even continuous basis, there is a need to ensure that the components will last as long as possible. Failure or wear and tear can cause delays, damage or even serious accidents, which should be avoided as much as possible. In this respect, the places where parts and elements made of a certain material are used and its preparation must be taken into account effectively. You do not need to know all the necessary aspects of the treatment, but rather to call someone to whom you can communicate what you want and who can offer you the best solutions in this respect. There are many large companies with their own paint shops and treatment plants, as well as independent companies working in this field that can take orders from other companies as well as from individuals, because there are many items that can be processed in a home, from cars to carcasses and parts for various equipment, machinery or electrical appliances.
The price of specialised treatment and electrostatic field painting is undoubtedly higher than other methods, but the results are also clearly superior, both in time and especially over time, as the items protected in this way are much more resistant than those processed improperly. Thus, it is good not to think that we are spending more money initially but that we will not need to spend more money on new parts and equipment in a shorter time than we would like, especially if they require a large budget.
