A
Dirty Discussion
In a typical automotive pretreatment
system, a substantial amount of time is spent
on cleaning — and for good reason. A clean vehicle
improves the phosphate quality, which leads to
better paint adhesion and improved corrosion
performance. In the future, a cleaner vehicle and
process will enable new pretreatment chemistries
to be used by providing a consistent substrate
surface quality and by allowing for the use of
materials that are less tolerant to the presence
of contaminants. However, for many plants, the
cleaning stages aren’t as effective as they should
be. Achieving a flawless e-coat finish requires
the use of effective filtration

Ask Joe
Powder
“I am
currently restoring a WWII tank. The original
coating was painted on, and as much as I would
strive for originality, paint just does not hold
up for very long. My thought was to powder coat
the inside. Sandblasting and applying the powder
seems pretty benign, but how could it be cured? It
would be impossible to make an oven around the
tank. Do any other practical methods exist that
would allow me to achieve the appropriate cure?
Would radiant heat lamps give an uneven
temperature if they were moved around
inside?”
