Pore fillers
Pore fillers are an important component in surface technology, used to smooth the surface of a material and fill any pores, imperfections or holes before a further coating or surface treatment is applied. This technique is used in various industries to achieve high-quality surfaces with a uniform appearance.
In woodworking, for example, pore fillers are used to fill the pores and imperfections in wood before it is painted or stained. This helps to create a smooth surface and prevents the paint or varnish from being applied unevenly.
In the automotive industry, pore fillers are used on car body parts to conceal small defects such as scratches, dents or weld seams before the parts are painted. This helps to ensure an even paint finish and improve the aesthetic quality of the vehicle.
In metalworking, porous fillers can be used to smooth and seal the surface of metal parts before they are galvanized or coated. This is particularly important to ensure an even coating and prevent corrosion effects.
Overall, porous fillers play an important role in surface technology by helping to create high-quality surfaces that meet the specific requirements of each application. By pretreating the surface with a porous filler, problems such as uneven coatings, color variations or corrosion effects can be avoided, resulting in improved surface quality and durability.
