Excellent Results with Effective Surface Treatment
An effective surface treatment process is essential to achieve a high-quality and flawless surface. To ensure this, it is crucial to work in complete harmony with a technically competent surface treatment partner, complete all process steps, and carefully meet process requirements through regular checks. This is how your company can achieve sustainable excellence.
Remember: A defective surface treatment process costs financially and operationally intolerable.
The Critical Role of Rinse Baths
The rinsing stages in a surface treatment process are often underestimated but are of critical importance. Rinse baths must be managed with the same care and attention as chemical baths.
The main purposes of rinse baths are:
Completing the Previous Step: Removing the residual effects of cleaning or coating processes.
Preparing for Subsequent Processes: Conditioning the treated surface for the next stage.
Minimizing Chemical Transfer: Reducing the carryover of solutions to subsequent stages for improved efficiency.
After the cleaning stage, rinse water removes dirt complexes to finalize the cleaning process. Post-coating rinse water eliminates unreacted chemicals, dust, and other potentially harmful residues that could interfere with the wet paint or coating processes.
