Electrostatic Coatings
Onsite coating using electrostatic equipment will ensure there is minimal overspray, and a smoother, more consistent finish with enduring performance.
What is Electrostatic Coating?
Electrostatic coatings were developed as a method of applying paint to a metal object by charging the paint with electricity as the contents are emitted from the spray gun.
The metal substrate is electrically charged which creates a static field on the surface. The paint is then sprayed through a paint gun which has the opposite charge, so the particles in the paint are attracted to the substrate and adhere to it evenly.
Any paint particles that do not get attracted to the substrate will just driy in the air and turn into a dust-like material – this means there is minimal painted overspray.
All jobs undertaken by the Vertikote Onsite team are prepped then masked up to ensure all areas are coated correctly.
Benefits of electrostatic coatings
The benefit of electrostatic coatings over conventional spray painting are that it assists to create a factory-look finish onsite. Our skilled operators with our coating systems can create a high consistency paint finish that is durable in any environment.
Electrostatic coatings also create efficiencies on the amount of paint required. As the paint is electrically charged in application, it is drawn directly to the substrate. With this process there is minimal excess paint material to float and create overspray as with traditional painting methods.
Consistency in coatings is also a lot more achievable with electrostatic coatings. With the right technician, it is easier to control the spray of the paint, which helps to achieve a factory-like finish.
