Geoff Tarquini elected to purchase a GARNIC Powder Coating and Pre-treatment system because it offers the best value for money. The plant adopted includes, a Conveyorised automated spray cure system, tanks for Pre-treatment of aluminium extrusion and all metals, including a cast Aluminium pre-treatment plant. GARNIC has also supplied a fully automated effluent treatment plant to local water board specifications.

CHEMETALL has designed a pre-treatment sequence for the processes.
The cast aluminium is initially washed in a special mild alkali, non-caustic cleaner, and then Oxidized in Chemetall LNC solution and then given the Chromicoat protection prior to drying and powder coating.

Geoff Tarquini, says the Powder Coating process adopted by PPC is specialised in the coating of castings and extrusions and the process will provide superior protection compared to conventionally coated products.
