Any painting / coating process involves substrate surface preparation, application of the coating and drying of the coating. Thorough knowledge about the components of paint and powder formulations, their application methods including drying and curing is essential to achieve the optimum productivity and quality levels. Lack of knowledge in painting & coating leads to high rework and rejection rates.
