Case Study

Substrate: Polypropylene

Application: Multiple colors per unit with recoat times within 5 minutes. Colors must not bleed. Pieces are packaged within 5 minutes of the final coat. Coating dry times needed to be adjusted to clients line speed.

Variables: Viscosity needed to be adjusted to the customer's spray equipment and environment.

Main Consideration: Stringent VOC limitations due to high paint volume used. Required to be fully HAPS compliant.

Adhesion: The final product will be exposed to harsh exterior weather and handling conditions.

Color: It was necessary to have exact color matches for the multiple colors involved per unit, as well as product consistency.
