Pre-Treatment
At SMS, we prioritise quality from the start. Our thorough pre-treatment services in Liverpool ensure all materials are perfectly prepared for powder coating, enhancing durability, corrosion resistance, and longevity for every product.
Automated Pre-Treatment Preparing Components for Superior Powder Coating
Before Powder Coating, all components pass through our three-stage, online pre-treatment plant. This process helps provide the product with increased shelf life, low maintenance, and zinc chromate protection. All components are loaded onto an automated conveyor, following the stages below.
Three-Stage Pre-Treatment Process
Stage One
Each product is treated with chemical degreasing agents that remove oils or surface contaminations.
Stage Two
The components continue through a clean water rinse to wash and remove the chemical from the product.
Stage Three
Optional (CF20) protection is available. This is ideal for aluminium parts that require further corrosive protection. (Up to 1000 hours salt spray test has been proven). This would depend on the environment, giving approximately 10-15 years of life expectancy.
