Stripping

Stripping describes the process by which a spray coating takes on a smooth and scar-free finish during the drying process. This process is crucial for achieving a flawless surface that is free from visible irregularities such as drips, streaks or scars. When the paint is applied, the material spreads evenly over the surface using the spraying technique, with the paint particles tending to contract into an even layer due to the surface tension and correct viscosity of the paint.

During the drying phase, it is important that the paint film is optimally smoothed. This is achieved by a carefully balanced combination of factors such as the composition of the paint, the application technique and the ambient conditions such as temperature and humidity. If these factors are well coordinated, the stretching process is ideal and the surface remains smooth without bubbles, unevenness or other surface defects forming during drying.

Successful stretching is an indicator that the paint has been applied correctly and that the application conditions were optimal. It leads to a high quality end result where the surface is not only visually appealing, but also functional and durable. This smooth, scar-free paint layer contributes significantly to the aesthetics and durability of the coated surface and is particularly important for high-quality surfaces such as in the automotive or furniture industry.
