Hot spraying (paint)

Hot spraying is an advanced method of painting technology that is used particularly in industry. This process enables the precise and efficient painting of surfaces through the use of molten paint material, which is applied to the surface to be coated under high pressure.

In this process, the paint is heated to a high temperature until it melts completely and reaches a liquid consistency. The molten paint material is then passed through a nozzle under pressure and sprayed onto the surface of the workpiece. The high pressure ensures even distribution of the paint, resulting in a precise and homogeneous coating.

Hot spraying is often used in industrial applications, especially when it comes to coating large or complex-shaped components. By using molten paint material, even hard-to-reach areas can be coated effectively, resulting in an improved surface quality. This process also offers advantages in terms of curing the coating material, as the high temperature helps to achieve faster and more efficient drying. This is particularly important in the mass production of parts, as faster drying can lead to increased productivity.

Overall, hot spraying enables precise and effective painting of surfaces, resulting in high-quality and aesthetically pleasing end products.
