Surface treatments (coatings) for aluminum ensure optimum material retention<\/strong>. In addition, you enhance the surface <\/strong>and in many cases close the aluminum to additional properties<\/strong>. In particular, wet paints are a proven form of aluminum surface treatment. Why is that so, read here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Common paint procedures and systems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The surface treatment of aluminum is achieved with the following paint procedures and systems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/td>Wet coating<\/strong><\/td>Powder coating<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Application<\/strong><\/td>Spray application, roller or brush<\/td>Electronic powder spraying<\/td><\/tr>
Drying principle<\/strong><\/td>Forced drying* <\/td>Stoving** <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

*) Forced drying is usually done at a temperature of 50 to 100 \u00b0C. The recommended temperature and drying time will vary depending on the paint system..<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

**) Aluminum beads are typically performed at an object temperature between 150 and 200 \u00b0C. The recommended temperature and drying time will vary depending on the paint system.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wet coatings: always and everywhere applicable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of the above paint procedures and systems, wet paints tend to be preferred because of their wide availability. With wet paints you get a very smooth end result and its decorative effects that you can’t achieve with powder coating or anodizing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
