Frustration-Free Paint Lines

Steelcote™️ pretreatment delivers superior paint 
adhesion without sludge or hazardous waste.

OUTSTANDING PAINT PERFORMANCE SHOULD BE FRUSTRATION-FREE.

Plant managers need reliable paint processes that meet high performance standards, without sacrificing uptime, our environment, or safety.

Let's face it, paint department managers are asked to do the impossible. You are expected to deliver continuous improvement to customers, management, and regulators all while managing cost and meeting ever stricter environmental standards.
Steelcote™️ zirconium-based pretreatment delivers superior paint adhesion and corrosion resistance without sludge or hazardous waste of traditional phosphate systems. Imagine running a pretreatment process that will pass all of your test specifications, eliminate hazardous clean-outs, and keep the environment phosphate and heavy metal-free.
 
Rust free, risky cleanout-free, hazardous waste-free. 

Steelcote™️ truly is the frustration-free pretreatment solution.

Here's how we deliver on 'Frustration-Free'

  • The simple 4-stage Steelcote™️ process starts and ends with cleaner parts, which means better paint adhesion whether it's liquid, powder, or e-coating.
  • The 100% phosphate-free Steelcote™️ process rinses clean with tap water, so it won’t produce sludge that clogs your system, making processing difficult and costly to maintain.
  • ​Eliminating phosphates (even the ones hiding in your cleaner) eliminates the need for dangerous and costly cleanouts and greatly reduces your plant’s environmental footprint.
  • Simplifying the process reduces cost while it maximizes uptime.

PAINT DEPARTMENT MANAGERS ARE IN A CONSTANT BATTLE OF TRADE-OFFS.

Phosphates in your pretreatment, and even the ones hiding in your cleaner, require dangerous cleanouts.

WHEN THE CHEMISTRY FAILS, THE PRESSURE TO COMPROMISE BUILDS — 
SOMETIMES WITH DEVASTATING EFFECTS.

CASE STUDY

One appliance manufacturer had employee exposures to hydrochloric acid every 6 weeks and frequently missed specs. They were concerned about harming the environment given recent phosphate driven algae blooms on the Great Lakes.

Far too often paint department managers are forced to compromise.

  • Increasing chemical usage to compensate for poor performance.
  • ​Approving out-of-spec parts to meet delivery schedules.
  • ​Adding headcount, overtime or outside contractors to keep the chemistry in control or deal with sludge and hazardous waste cleanouts.
  • ​Settling for inadequate service and support from suppliers.
