NONAME / AN UNFAMILIAR BRAND
Three questions that help you avoid working blind.
Find the company and batch identification. A name or flag on a can is not enough.
For chemical materials, find the TDS and SDS. For tools, check the manual and operating specifications.
Check material, abrasive and accessory compatibility. For coatings, follow the technical sheet and verify the system on a test panel.
THE COST OF REWORK
Cratering, orange peel, peeling. It is better to recognise the causes in a photograph than after your own paint job.
A coating separates from its substrate or another layer. Possible causes include contamination, insufficient preparation, incompatible materials and incorrect flash times.
Clean and prepare the substrate, verify system compatibility and follow the technical data sheet.
Uneven texture forms when droplets fail to level. Gun setup, viscosity, a reducer or hardener that is too fast, and booth temperature can contribute.
Adjust the spray gun, select components for the application conditions, and follow mixing ratios and flash times.
Trapped solvent creates open blisters as the film cures. Excessive film build, components that are too fast, and overheating are possible factors.
Follow the specified film build and curing schedule; choose reducer and hardener for booth conditions.
Round depressions form in the wet coating. Silicone and contamination on the surface, wiping cloths or compressed-air lines are common causes.
Use suitable surface cleaners and clean cloths, and maintain compressed-air filters.
These are examples of common defects, not evidence about a particular brand. Diagnosis depends on system compatibility, preparation, application and curing. A photograph does not identify the coating brand; these defects can occur with different brands.
