Onsite Electrostatic Spraying throughout the UK ...
Electrostatic spraying or electro re-enamelling is the nearest possible finish to powder coating achievable in an "on site" situation. Instead of a costly replacement of existing fascia or shop fittings, we can offer to refresh your corporate look at a fraction of the price to a quality assured standard.
With electrostatic spraying, the possibilities are endless - from polyester powder coated shop fronts, curtain walling, lift doors, staircase balustrades, office furniture and interior coatings, machinery, cladding, roller shutter doors and structural steelwork.
Whilst metal is a common substrate used in the world of commerce and industry Vanda Coatings can offer solutions for both plastic, uPvc and fibreglass structures.
So how does electrostatic spraying work?
Very simply, paint is fed through a spinning ceramic disc at the end of a paint applicator. Before it reaches the disc, it is given a positive electrostatic charge. Then as soon as it comes into contact with the spinning disk the paint becomes atomised.
The surface to be painted is given a negative electrostatic charge, and, like magnets, opposites attract and the paint becomes adhered to the surface.
Once the positively charged paint has been attracted to the negatively charged object, the magnetism is dispelled. However, any remaining negatively charged paint will seek out any area that remains positively charged.
It is this phenomenon that allows electrostatic painting to provide a much more universal uniform coverage than conventional spraying.
Why use Electrostatic Spraying?
Electrostatic spraying significantly increases quality and production efficiency, decreases paint costs and makes the changing of existing coatings easy. The system is ideal for all areas where disruption must be kept to a minimum, but where high quality is paramount.
An electrostatic handgun is an improvement over conventional and HVLP equipment in that it has:
· a positive environmental impact · reduced labour and material costs · reduced air pollution VOC emissions
