Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of spray coating in terms of application speed and efficiency?

Spray coating is known for its fast application speed and efficiency. By using specialized spraying equipment, large surfaces can be covered evenly and quickly, significantly reducing the time compared to traditional roller or brush methods. This leads to faster project completion times and minimizes equipment or facility downtime. (Important to note: material consumption is higher when spraying compared to brushing and rolling.)

Can spray coatings be customized in terms of color and finish?

Spray coatings offer various possibilities for customization in terms of color and finish. We can mix colors to precisely meet your specifications. Moreover, there are various finishing options available, from matte to high gloss. With our formulations, properties such as UV protection, anti-slip, and enhanced chemical resistance can be achieved. Customized coating solutions are also possible.

Are special safety measures required when applying spray coatings?

Safety measures are required during the application of spray coatings to protect the health of applicators and the environment. This includes the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), such as masks, gloves, and safety goggles. Ensure adequate ventilation to minimize inhalation of fumes and aerosols. Check local regulations and consult the Safety Data Sheet provided by us for more information and proper precautions before use.

Can spray coating be used for both indoor and outdoor applications?

Spray coating is versatile enough to be used in both indoor and outdoor applications. The choice of coating type depends on the specific requirements of the application, such as UV stability for outdoor use. Proper preparation and selection of the coating ensure that the end result provides both durable protection and aesthetic appeal, regardless of the location.
