  2. Electrostatic coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_coating

    Electrostatic coating is a manufacturing process that employs charged particles to more efficiently paint a workpiece. Paint, in the form of either powdered particles or atomized liquid, is initially projected towards a conductive workpiece using normal spraying methods, and is then accelerated toward the work piece by a powerful electrostatic charge.

  3. Environmental impact of paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_paint

    The process of creating paint consumes a large amount of water and chemicals which leads to the production of large amounts of wastewater. [9] Roughly 70% of the wastewater produced by the paint manufacturing industry is released into natural bodies of water which causes the destination to be polluted. [9]

  4. Coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coating

    "Roll-to-roll" or "web-based" coating is the process of applying a thin film of functional material to a substrate on a roll, such as paper, fabric, film, foil, or sheet stock. This continuous process is highly efficient for producing large volumes of coated materials, which are essential in various industries including printing, packaging, and ...

  5. Electrophoretic deposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrophoretic_deposition

    The aqueous process which is commonly used has less risk of fire relative to the solvent-borne coatings that they have replaced. Modern electrophoretic paint products are significantly more environmentally friendly than many other painting technologies. Thick, complex ceramic pieces have been made in several research laboratories.

    Such paints cure by a process called coalescence where first the water and then the trace, or coalescing, solvent, evaporate and draw together and soften the binder particles and fuse them together into irreversibly bound networked structures, so that the paint cannot redissolve in the solvent/water that originally carried it.

  7. Alumina effect pigment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alumina_effect_pigment

    The coating process is analogous to that used for metal oxide mica pigments except it starts from an aqueous suspension of Al 2 O 3 flakes. The complete manufacturing process of pigments based on aluminium oxide platelets, consisting of the flake production and the coating with metal oxides is shown in Figure 1 [3]

  8. Automotive paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_paint

    As mass production of cars made the process untenable, paint began to be dried in ovens. Nowadays, two-component (catalyzed) paint is usually applied by robotic arms and cures in just a few hours either at room temperature or in heated booths. Until several decades ago lead, chromium, and other heavy metals were used in automotive paint.

  9. Spray painting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spray_painting

    This process occurs when the paint is applied to an object through the use of an air-pressurized spray gun. The air gun has a nozzle, paint basin, and air compressor. When the trigger is pressed the paint mixes with the compressed air stream and is released in a fine spray. [5] Types of nozzles and sprays
