Commercial UPVC PaintingFor many years the painting of UPVC and plastic was
an expensive and unreliable process. New technology, developed and
tested over the last 15 years has meant that manufacturers and homeowners
alike can now have an affordable choice of colour and finish, exactly
as metal fabricators have had for years!
The new materials are UV stable and have excellent
adhesion
and weathering properties.
Suitable applications are:
Exterior
Interior
PVCu & PVCue Profiles
Cable Trunking
Windows and Doors
Skirting
Fascias
Stair Noses
Soffits
Vinyl Chairs
Plastic Roofing Products
Back Sprayed Acrylic for: Rain Water products Wall, Tiles,
Desk fronts, Roller Shutters
Other possible applications are: Car bumpers
and side strips, car Mirrors, soft plastics, vinyl, acrylics,
leather and polyester powder coated materials.
It is now possible for us to paint or powder
coat your metal requirements at the same time as your plastic
requirements and ensure that the match is as close as possible.
This is an exciting prospect for the design of new products, refurbishment
of parts, or re-branding.
The painting process involves careful preparation,
cleaning and pretreatment, masking where it is required, and then
finishing. Whilst the paint is touch dry within a few minutes
full curing will take up to a week. It is essential that full
curing be allowed to happen before packing. Once cured the paint
will not flake and the plastic can be cut without damage to the
finish. We have seen an instance where a door has been smashed
but where there was no breakdown of adhesion even along the edges
of the UPVC that was broken - a truly remarkable system!
