Flooding
Flooding in painting refers to a specific technique used in painting technology to coat surfaces evenly over a large area. Unlike other methods, such as spraying or brushing, flooding is done by applying a large amount of paint to the surface to be treated.
The flooding process typically begins by generously applying the paint to the surface. The paint is then spread evenly to ensure that the entire surface receives a complete coating. This technique is often used when painting horizontal or slightly inclined surfaces to ensure an even coating thickness.
The advantage of flooding is that it is an efficient way of painting large areas in a short time. It also allows better control over the thickness of the paint, especially when a uniform and opaque coating is required.
This method is used in various industries, including vehicle painting, furniture manufacturing and other areas where large surfaces require a high quality finish. Through the targeted application of flooding, painting processes can be efficiently designed to achieve optimum results in terms of surface design and protection against external influences.
