Issues We Solve
Relying on viscosity cup measurement can result in measurement variations within a single coil coating run.
By employing effective temperature and viscosity control solutions, your process can sidestep many common problems in coil coating operations:
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:
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.
