Process fluids

Process fluids are a key component of many surface treatment processes. These fluids play a diverse role and are used at various stages of the production process to improve the quality, performance and efficiency of surface treatment. In the pre-treatment phase, process fluids can be used to clean, degrease or de-rust surfaces to ensure optimum adhesion of coatings or finishes. They can also be used as etching agents to improve the surface structure or create a certain texture.

During the coating or finishing phase, process fluids are used to apply and fix the desired surface coating. These include colored paints, clear coats, corrosion inhibitors, chromating solutions and other coating materials. These liquids can be applied by various methods such as spraying, dipping, brushing or rolling.

In addition, process fluids can also play an important role during the drying and curing process. They can help to speed up the drying time, improve the adhesion of the coating or modify the surface properties. The selection of the appropriate process fluid depends on various factors, including the type of material to be treated, the specific requirements of the surface treatment process and the desired end results. In addition, process fluids often need to meet certain quality standards to ensure that they comply with environmental, health and safety requirements.

Overall, process fluids play a crucial role in surface engineering by helping to create high-quality, durable and aesthetically pleasing surfaces. Through careful selection and application, they can help to improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of manufacturing processes while minimizing environmental impact.
