In
the paint spray booth itself, as production
painting proceeds hour after hour, shift after
shift, the floor grates therein accumulate large
undesired buildups of paint spray that falls
thereon, which excess paint must be periodically
removed, to maintain the efficiency of the
excess paint spray removal process, and the
paint spray booth operation itself.
Grate Coating 1775 is a water based, fast drying, white grate coating that has been formulated with special resins to provide a hard, non-chalking barrier.
Another problem associated with removal of
excess paint spray from plant production paint
spray booths is the fact that some manufacturers
use high solids enamel paint compositions that
retain their "live", sticky paint
characteristics as the excess paint is carried
down in the air/water disposal system. These
high-solids enamel paints continue to be sticky
on the grate-block surfaces, and are not
"deadened" by additives to paint spray booth
disposal water systems. Such enamel paints
accumulate even more rapidly on the grate floors
than some of the older acrylic lacquer paints
which dry faster. Even more frequent cleaning is
thus required.
