1400 - 1430 PRETREATMENT FUNDAMENTALS
- A high-quality metal and/or plastic pretreatment with an appropriate coating are essential for the durability of finished products. Methods for pretreatment vary depending on the soils and substrates to be coated, the coating to be used and the desired performance and properties of the resulting finish
- Focus mainly on the chemical cleaning (pretreatment). It will enable you to make smart decisions in the selection, design, installation, and upgrade of an existing pretreatment system
