Making Money with Paint
Can switching to 2-k paint or automating your 2-k operation make your manufacturing process more money? Finishing is often one of the very last processes that are considered in manufactured goods. As a result, not much space, effort or thought is put into this very important activity. An in-depth look at liquid coatings, including benefits and drawbacks of plural component paints, begin a dialogue of potential material and financial savings. Analyzing manual mix operations and automated mix operations, methods of reducing waste will be uncovered from disposable mix equipment to paint materials, and labor time to managing mixed waste.
