From Railways to Architecture, up to the General Industry: A Nano-Technology Pre-treatment Process Becomes Strategic for Product Resistance and Appearance Monica Fumagalli ipcm®
The development of pre-treatment nanotechnologies, implemented in industrial production processes about twenty-five years ago, has reached optimal performance levels in terms of corrosion resistance and paint adhesion. CMC Verniciatura Industriale chose to optimise its coating process with a 5-stage multi-metal pre-treatment cycle that ends with a nanotechnology passivation step using the Soft Rain nebulisation system. The chemical products used are supplied by DN Chemicals: their development with powder application operations in mind has enabled CMC to gain important orders from several high-end customers, including major railway vehicle manufacturers.
