Pre-Treatments
We use the latest environmentally friendly products where possible. Pre-treatments currently used range from:-
- Shotblasting, Bead Blasting, used to remove old paint rust, or just to give a rough key to steel using our own Shotblasting facilities. We can advise what can be done and what can’t be done.
- Zirconium Phosphate latest technology very environmentally friendly, very good pre-treatment for a variety of metals giving extra life protection.
- Iron Phosphate pre-treatment an old system used mainly on internal components not as long life span as Zirconium, but still good protection on a variety of metals.
- Acid Pickle Process used to soften aluminium surfaces to complement our Zirconium Phosphate Process, also used were rusting items can’t be Shotblast due to there delicate nature. We will advise you on what can be done and what can’t.
- Hand prepared pre-treatment using solvent or environmentally friendly cleaners for larger items. Items can then be etch primed using non chromate wet spray in our large wet spray booth also giving extra life protection.
We strive to provide a pre-treatment for a variety of substrates ranging from timber aluminium, zinc plated items, brass, copper, mild steel and endless other substrates.
Using our wealth of experience in the coating industry we can advise you on the correct pre-treatment.
