Temperature & Viscosity Control from World-Leading Experts

As an industry and world leader in temperature and viscosity control solutions, Saint Clair Systems creates disruptive technology: temperature control directly at the point of application. 

Our patented designs and processes are made to optimize performance through all phases of fluid dispensing. With our systems in place, you’ll see reductions in scrap, rework, rejects, solvent use, labor, and harmful VOC emissions. 

You can also expect to increase your first pass yield, achieve quality output consistently, and improve profitability.

Point-of-Application Temperature Control

Temperature control in fluid dispensing is critical to high-quality output. But a fluid’s temperature will always change on its path to the final point of dispense. That’s why we focus on controlling temperature at the end of the process and work backwards – not the other way around.

Maintaining Consistent Viscosity

Paint smearing, poor bonding in adhesives, variations in color, and excessive ink during a print process are all results of viscosity variation. Our technology reduces (and even eliminates) these issues by tightly controlling temperature at the point of application.

Proven Solutions. Proven Results.

With over 3600 applications under our belt, we have the experience and expertise to streamline your processes and cut your costs.

Case Study:

Process Temperature Control

A potential customer in the coil coating industry was satisfied with the processes they already had in place and didn’t think temperature control could benefit their operation. Like many, they didn’t understand the impacts of temperature change in their fluid dispense process and the effects it was having on viscosity and throughput.

(Plus, some of their key personnel had a lot invested in the way things were currently running.)

Using our proprietary software, we gave them a free analysis. Our technology quickly identified that differences in paint temperature were causing them to apply excess coating. Our proposed solution from that single analysis saved them over $500,000 in coating and solvent usage.

We’re experts with over 30 years of experience in controlling temperature in fluid dispense systems. We’ve made our systems convenient and easy to adopt – but you need to see results for yourself to appreciate them.

“We saw increased stability in striation patterns when applying PVC to aluminum to create a woodgrain finish and significant reductions in color match issues as a result of consistent film build.”

- Alsco

“Steelscape reported reduced “ropiness” when applying Polyester to steel resulting in a finish that “looks sprayed rather than rolled, Steelscape reported 75% reduction in solvent pop due to reduced solvent addition. Steelscape reported 100% reduction in solvents added to primers and backers and 60% reduction in solvents added to finish coats. This was the easiest capital project implementations that we’ve ever done!”

- Ron Hurst, Steelscape

“Our system provided the biggest bang for the buck of any capital project so far!”

- Jay Michae, Ternium

“Reported solvent reductions between 80% - 100%”

- Ternium Shreveport

“As part of our ongoing continuous improvement plan at Roush, we decided to take a more aggressive approach to our temperature control in the paint shop. The resulting quality improvement was immediately noted and helped drive our FTC (First Time Capability) up and sustain it where we needed it to be.”

- Patrick Henterly, Roush Manufacturing

“At Valspar, we formulate our paints to run under a variety of different conditions and process variables. One of the primary variables is the paint temperature, which can vary from 40°F to 100°F based on the conditions at the coil coating facility. This wide swing in temperature can play havoc with both paint viscosity and application setup. Having consistent and targeted paint temperature removes this process variable and its effects from the equation. Additionally, having consistent paint temperature ensures optimal (minimal) usage of expensive reducing solvents to attain the desired viscosity and applied paint film thickness.”

- Kent Hatch, Valspar Corporation
