PAINT EXPO SHOWCASE
PRE-TREATMENT
Dollmar S.p.A
Innovative Surface Treatment Products and Application Technologies Dollmar will present with Dollcoat nanotechnological passivation products for all kinds of metals, ideal to iron, aluminum and zinc final passivation. It allows the elimination of heavy metals such as chrome, nickel, zinc, and can be used for the
simultaneous treatment of every mix of metal support. The use of each kind of paint and painting system including electrodeposition is also possible. In addition Dollcoat reduces the cost to run pretreatment line and is used in the following
PRE-TREATMENT
PLASMATREAT GmbH
Plasma for a Perfect Appearance At this year’s PaintExpo, Plasmatreat, the market leader for atmospheric plasma jet technology will demonstrate live its high tech surface pretreatment method Openair-Plasma, used to create the most important prerequisite for optimal wetting of paints and coatings in order to obtain an immaculate surface, long stable
adhesion, thinner layer thicknesses and a perfect paint gradient. Behind the large protective glass windows of the fully automated robotic cell, visitors will experience how the plasma beam impinges with almost sonic speed on the glass surface being treated, cleaning it to a microfine level and activating it at the same time.
PRE-TREATMENT
Simco Nederland B.V und Ziegener + Frick GmbH
High Efficient Solutions for Cleaning Surfaces Simco and Ziegener+Frick will show many high efficient solutions for cleaning surfaces in combination with neutralising static electricity. Neutralising static electricity has become very easy with the new Simco Performax Easy anti-static bar. The bar
has a fully integrated high voltage supply and only needs 24V DC. It is compact and sturdy and can be used in many applications because it is IP66. Status information is visible on the anti-static bar and is also available as an output signal. The airknifes
market segments: job shop coaters, architecture, appliances, automotive components, coil coating, and hot dip galvanizing. For the application of the nanometric conversion products the company offers the Softrain system. Due to the total nebulization it enables to achieve a higher quality standard at lower costs.

This step is followed by automatic water spraying. The effect becomes obvious immediately: Water drops on the untreated side compared to an absolutely homogeneous water film in the plasma-activated area. The high degree of water wettability is made possible by the strong activation effect of the plasma increasing the surface energy of the glass to over 72mJ/m2. A second demonstration will show the same basic principle on plastic material. This time the visitors are invited to conduct the test by themselves on a non robotic device.
of the MISTRAL series of Ziegener+Frick are also suited to discharge redundant lacquer application. By use of the compact cleaning hood you are able to clean contactless from above and below with the aid of an ionized air curtain. Ziegener+Frick also presents the new highly effective FORANO-Air Nozzles.
