The advantages of liquid coating

Liquid coating applications offer high surface quality, a wide range of colours, long durability, weather and UV resistance, and good abrasion resistance. In addition, wet paint applications offer high flexibility when applied to different substrates and shapes, making them the ideal choice for a variety of applications in different industries.

Pre-treatments: The key to the perfect surface

Cleaning and degreasing

The substrate is decisive for the corrosion resistance, adhesion and quality of a coating layer. This must be pretreated accordingly and freed from grease, oils, release agents as well as dirt and corrosion layers. Depending on the material, this is done with rinsing, chemical degreasing and etching.

Mechanical pretreatment

In this step, corrosion products and impurities are removed mechanically. The companies of BWB Surface Technology have the equipment for grinding, sandblasting, bead blasting and compacting blasting.

Chemical pretreatments

Chemical pretreatments form conversion coatings, which serve as an optimum adhesion base for the paint and at the same time provide high corrosion protection. BWB's plants have a wide range of chemical and electrochemical pretreatments such as phosphating, chromating, chromic acid anodising, passivation and pre-anodising.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about wet painting

Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about wet painting. Discover the advantages, the materials used and much more. Our aim is to provide you with clear and precise information so that you are well informed about the wet coating process. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Wet painting is a process in which liquid paint is applied to a surface to create a protective and decorative coating.

It offers a smooth, even surface, a wide range of colors and is ideal for complex geometries and small batches.

Wet-on-wet coating is a painting method in which additional layers are applied before the previous layers have hardened. The coated composite film then hardens as a whole or dries. Specially formulated paints are required for this technique.

A variety of materials, including metal, plastic and wood, can be wet painted.

We use different types of lacquer, including acrylic lacquers, polyurethane lacquers and epoxy lacquers, depending on the requirements of the project.

The drying time depends on the type of paint used and the ambient conditions, but can vary from a few hours to several days.

Our painted surfaces offer excellent protection against corrosion, chemicals and abrasion, and are durable and resistant.

Yes, we offer a wide range of colors and finishes to meet the aesthetic requirements of our customers.

We use environmentally friendly paints and pay attention to the responsible disposal and recycling of residual materials.
