Temperature affects viscosity, which in turn affects film thickness and creates other inconsistencies in your coating process. By precisely controlling temperature at the point of application, the viscosity remains constant. You’ll deliver predictable results and save money on solvents and other materials.

Improved Control for Better Results in Metal and Coil Coating

In your coil coating process, fluctuations in fluid viscosity can cause variations in film build from edge to edge, resulting in different cure rates across the face of the strip. This increases the likelihood of curing-related defects.

In coil and metal coating, the performance of the final product depends on whether the coating has consistent thickness along both the length and width of the coated area. Variations in coating thickness can result in color, gloss, and surface finish inconsistencies, reduced corrosion protection, and shortcomings in adhesion and durability.

How We Help

By precisely controlling temperature within +/- 1 degree °F at the point of application, you stabilize the viscosity of your coating material. Achieving stable viscosity requires both heating and cooling capability.

Saint Clair Systems’ proprietary temperature control solutions combine mathematical models with flow dynamic mastery to maximize process control, leading to:

Repeatable line setup parameters
Consistent film build across web/strip
Reduced coating material usage
Reduced emissions
Reduced scrap
Increased throughput

How Temperature Changes from Booth to Point of Dispense

As material moves from its origination point to the point of dispense, temperature can change. And even the slightest of variations can impact material cost dramatically. Here's how we keep temperature and viscosity consistent as material moves through a process.
