Detackifiers

When painting a piece, not all the paint particles settle on it. The excess paint (overspay) that cannot be fixed on the piece is collected by the water curtain. This paint has a sticky consistency and is known as "living" paint. The presence of live paint in the process causes clogging of the filters, damage to the suction pumps and a malfunction of the water curtain. Our detactifying products have the function of, being present in the water curtain, grouping those paint particles together and forming a rubber that does not leave any color residue on the hand and that can be easily removed from the process by means of flotation (paling). or spin.

Coatings

Water-Based

Water-based product that is applied to the interior walls of the paint booth with a roller or brush, and that when drying forms a plastic film that is easy to remove.

 

Filmite Clear

Filmite Clear.png

Concentrated translucent liquid material for spraying or brushing on dry areas of paint spray booths, to keep paint overspray from sticking to the surface. Filmite Clear produces a soft, waxy mat which can quickly and easily be scraped away. Ideal for dry paint booths, Filmite Clear stays tacky and will hold airborne contaminants. May be used on lighting fixtures or other areas where a translucent coating is desired.

Benefits:

  • Clear peelable film for use over glass lenses and windows.

  • Excellent solvent resistence.

  • Forms a tough flexible film that peels with ease.

  • Non-flammable in the liquid state.

  • Low VOC

  • Excellent for containing airborne dust.

  • Easy to use.

  • Water soluble

 

Filmite TBC

Water-based tacky coating that remains tacky for a long period of time at temperatures up to 180°F (82°C). Its viscosity provides excellent surface retention, allowing for easy application to both horizontal and vertical surfaces. The clear, tacky coating formed by Filmite TBC effectively traps airborne particulates, therefore providing cleaner paint jobs and minimizing rework due to airborne particulates. In addition to paint spray booths, Filmite TBC can be used for flash-off zones and oven vestibules.

Benefits:

  • White film for better illumination.

  • Fast drying

  • Forms a tough flexible film that peels with ease.

  • Dry film is self extinguishing.

  • Film remains tacky even at high temperatures, reducing overspray and dust particles.

  • Nonflammable

  • Textured

 

Filmite WB

Temporary, white strippable coating for spray paint booth walls, ceilings, floors and other peelable surfaces where paint over-spray accumulation must be readily removed. It will maximize paint booth illumination and remain nondusting. Application of this white, peelable booth coating will result in optimum paint finish and minimize rejects. Filmite WB is well-stabilized against brittleness, and it will not be affected by solvent-based paints. When cured, Filmite WB is resistant to water, alkali, and heat.

Benefits:

  • Results in a reduction of labor costs by reducing the application time.

  • Once cured, it provides an extremely tough, uniform film thickness.

  • Curing time can be cut in half with the use of increasing temperatures up to 100°F.
