Higher Performance Results Spray Wand Equipment
•Chemical Cleaning •Metal Conversion Coatings •Final Seal Rinse•Paint Considerations •Proper Application Methods•Performance Capabilities
Chemical Cleaning
•Multi-Step Process•Preferred over Clean/Coat•Better Cleaning•Enhance Coating•Higher Coating Weights
•Alkaline Cleaning•Removes Organic Soils•“Bottom Up” Cleaning
•Reduce Streaks•Keeps Part Wet
Chemical Cleaning
•High Foaming Cleaner•Keeps Parts Wet•Increase Cleaner Contact
•Rinse From Top Down
•You Cannot Phosphate a Dirty Surface
•High Performance Starts With A Clean Surface
Chemical Cleaning
•Laser Oxide Removal•Acid Based Remover•Contact Time•Minimize Atomization•Before Alkaline Clean
Metal Conversion Coatings
“You Can Make A Poor Paint Coating Perform with Excellent Pretreatment…You
Can’t Make An Excellent Paint Coating Perform with Poor Pretreatment!”
Metal Conversion Coatings
•Iron Phosphate•Cleaner/Coater Preferred•Foam Keeps Part Wet•Alum/Galv - Fluoride•Contact, pH, Temp = Coating Weights
•Zinc Phosphate•Conditioner – Accelerator
•Ambient Treatments•Fluoride Based•Pump-Up Spray
Final Seal Rinse
•Pump-Up Sprayer Application
•Improves Corrosion Resistance•Neutralize Salts
•Organic vs. Non-Organic•Paint Specific•Quality Expectations
Paint Considerations
•Trapped Moisture
•Paint Parts Immediately•Paintable RP
•Avoid Excessive Handling
Proper Application Methods
•High Pressure vs. Steam•Type of Soils•Water Usage
•High Pressure•500 to 1000 psi•Operator Friendly•Lower Chemical Usage•Better Chemical Coverage
•Temperature•140 to 160 degrees
Performance Capabilities
