Wet Applied Functional Coatings

This process is based on liquid paints which are cured by oven baking. It normally requires several coats and a high level of skill, particularly when applying special finishes such as hammers, wrinkles and spatter finishes. Powder coating has largely replaced this traditional coating technique, but we retain the expertise because there are applications where this is the most appropriate or cost effective method. For example:

• PTFE Teflon, Xylan, Kynar, Dykor, Halar, Duranar, Lumiflon, Emralon Greblon
• PDVF
• Intumescent coatings Firetex, Chartek, Interchar
• Anti-shatter coatings on glass
• Elastomeric soft touch coatings Chemglaze, Irathane, Aqualine, Hexaflex
• Rubberised coatings
• Micaceous Iron Oxide (MIO)
• PolyurethaneResistex
• Glass Flake Epoxy
• Chlorinated rubber paint
