Evaporation zone
The evaporation zone plays an important role in painting lines and spray rooms used in surface technology. This area is designed to allow the painted surfaces to evaporate after the painting process. During this process, the solvents evaporate from the paint, resulting in faster drying and curing while ensuring a clean environment.
The evaporation zone is designed to optimize the solvent evaporation process. It is often equipped with special ventilation systems and filters that allow for controlled air circulation. This helps to safely remove solvent vapours from the work area to ensure a healthy working environment for employees and minimize the risk of explosions.
The partial or complete evaporation of the volatile components of the coating material before film formation is complete and/or another coating can be applied is also known as flash-off.
