Conventional paint systems

Conventional paint systems are an established and proven method in painting technology. These systems are based on traditional paint compositions and application methods that have been tried and tested over the years. In contrast to more modern painting methods, which rely on advanced technologies such as powder coating or high-tech spray applications, conventional paint systems rely on proven formulas and application processes.

A characteristic feature of conventional paint systems is the use of solvent-based paints. These coatings consist of a mixture of resins, pigments and solvents. The lacquer is applied to the surface and the solvent evaporates, creating a solid lacquer coating. This method allows the paint composition to be effectively adapted to different requirements, whether in the automotive industry, furniture manufacturing or other industrial applications.

Conventional paint systems can be applied using various methods, including the aforementioned conventional dipping, but also spraying, brushing or rolling. Each method offers specific advantages and is selected according to the requirements of the project.

Although modern, more environmentally friendly painting methods are becoming more widespread, conventional paint systems still have their place. They are cost-efficient, easy to control and can be used successfully in many industries. At the same time, however, there is an awareness of the environmental impact of the solvents used, which is why some sectors are increasingly switching to water-based paints or other environmentally friendly alternatives.
