Autophoretic coating systems manufactured by Walgren produce consistent, uniform results while minimizing energy consumption. Autophoretic coating doesn’t involved electrical current, eliminating line-of-site considerations. So, thanks to Walgren’s smooth-motion hoist technology, part density can be high. Deposition is fast, slowing as the thickness of the film builds. Autophoretic coatings are typically .6 to 1.0 mil and are precisely controlled through time and temperature. Autophoretic coating systems include cleaning, rinsing and immersion coating stages; conversion coatings (i.e. iron phosphate) are unnecessary with Autophoretic technology. Optimum cure for Autophoretic coatings is provided by Walgren ovens; only water vapor is emitted from Walgren Autophoretic ovens. Walgren Autophoretic systems include controls, tank heating and ventilation. Autophoretic coatings are environmentally favored, and waste treatment for Autophoretic systems is simple: wastewater from Autophoretic lines typically gets a slight pH adjustment and goes directly to city sewers. Walgren can provide in-line ion exchange for autophoretic systems to maximize bath life and reduce solid waste. With Walgren programmable hoists or split rail machines, parts can be loaded with racks in a static position. Walgren Autophoretic lines have ergonomic interfaces. Autophoretic coatings, whether PVDC, epoxy or acrylic, are waterborne. They offer exceptional corrosion resistance and surface protection, and a wide range of gloss. One autophoretic formula is highly effective as a powder coating primer; it is highly temperature resistant, with 1200 hours of salt spray performance. Autophoretic coatings are suitable for small to large steel components, tubular products, and assemblies with complex shapes or recessed areas. | |
