Roller coating
Roller coating is a surface coating process that is primarily used in industrial production. This process enables the efficient and even coating of large surfaces, such as those found in the automotive industry or in the metalworking sector.
The name "roller coating" is derived from the use of a paint roller that is soaked with paint or varnish. This roller is rolled over the surface to be painted, applying an even layer. The lacquering process can be used for both flat and profiled surfaces. The paint roller not only enables homogeneous distribution of the paint material, but also high productivity, as large areas can be processed in a single pass. This makes roller coating particularly efficient for coating components in mass production.
The process is often used in combination with other painting techniques to achieve optimum results. Once the paint material has been applied, it is often cured or dried to ensure a durable and resistant finish. Roller coating is widely used in various industries, including the manufacture of vehicles, mechanical engineering, furniture production and metalworking. It enables efficient, cost-effective and high-quality coating of large surfaces and helps to produce products with aesthetically pleasing and protective surfaces.
