Why do products in the coating production line need pre-treatment?

In the coating production line, pre-treatment is a crucial link, which directly affects the quality and performance of the final coating product. Why do we need to pre-process our products? This is because pre-treatment can effectively remove impurities on the surface, improve the adhesion of the coating and the quality of the coating, and ensure the appearance and service life of the product.

First, let us understand the meaning of pre-processing. Pre-treatment refers to cleaning, degreasing, and rust removal on the surface of the product before it enters the painting process to ensure that the surface is clean, flat, and free of impurities. The importance of this step cannot be ignored, because impurities on the product surface will directly affect the quality and effect of the coating.

Why do you need to clean the product surface?

1. Remove impurities from the product surface: During the manufacturing, processing and transportation processes of products, various impurities are often attached, such as dust, oil stains, water stains, etc. If these impurities are not removed, they will become an isolation layer between the paint and the product surface during the coating process, affecting the adhesion of the paint, leading to problems such as peeling and peeling of the coating. Moreover, impurities on the surface will also affect the appearance quality of the painted product, causing it to lose luster, appear defects, and reduce the overall aesthetics.

2. Oil removal and rust removal: If there is oil on the surface of the product, it will affect the adhesion between the paint and the product surface, causing the coating to peel off. If the rusty parts on the surface are not rust removed, it will easily cause blistering and cracking of the coating after painting, and even accelerate the corrosion rate of the product. Therefore, through pre-treatment processes such as oil removal and rust removal, these hidden dangers can be effectively eliminated and the quality and stability of coating can be improved.

The significance and role of pre-treatment in the coating production line

1. Improve adhesion: Cleaning, oil removal, rust removal and other processes can make the product surface rougher, increase the contact area between the paint and the product surface, and improve adhesion. In this way, the coated coating will be stronger and less likely to peel off, which can better protect the surface of the product and extend its service life.

2. Adjust the chemical properties of the product surface: Pre-treatment can also help adjust the chemical properties of the product surface to make it more suitable for accepting paint adhesion. For example, by using chemical treatments, a chemical conversion film can be formed on the surface of the product to help enhance the adhesion and durability of the coating.

3. Prepare for subsequent painting: Pretreatment can also provide better operating conditions for subsequent painting processes. Through processes such as cleaning, oil removal, and rust removal, the product surface can be made smoother and more uniform, reducing defects and blemishes during the coating process, and improving the consistency and stability of the coating.

In general, pre-treatment plays a vital role in the coating production line. It can not only remove surface impurities and improve coating adhesion and coating quality, but also adjust surface chemical properties to prevent corrosion and rust, providing better operating conditions for subsequent coating processes. Therefore, in the coating production line, pre-treatment is an indispensable link.

Enterprises must pay full attention to the pre-treatment link, purchase pretreatment equipment within a limited budget and put it into the coating production line to ensure the stability and reliability of product coating quality, so as to improve the competitiveness of the enterprise.
