We'll apply your specified finish system or assist in developing and specifying
a coating system that meets your cosmetic and performance requirements.


CAPABILITIES

DEGREASE & CLEANING

The proper substrate preparation is critical to any finishing method. Our
experience with a large variety of fabrications, extrusions, machined, stamped,
and cast parts has taught us a great deal about processing lubricants and
methods for removal to assure a clean surface.

1. Hot alkaline cleaning or 5 stage clean and pretreat



5 stage RoHS compliant iron phosphate Part size window 36" x 66" x length to 14'




 

2. Grit, shot, and bead blasting



Aluminum oxide, steel, glass, even walnut shells and plastic - we have
experience with many blast media and their proper use Tumble blast for efficient
bulk processing of smaller parts Largest pressure blast cabinet is a 6' x 6' x
6' cube. We outsource blasting of larger parts to qualified sources. We can
measure and maintain a spec'd or optimum blast profile



 

3. Masking - after we've properly cleaned and pretreated your part we'll perform
needed masking - even the complex stuff

 

4. Well designed racks or fixtures can impact both the quality and efficiency of
the coating process. We buy or build based on the complexity of the fixture..

POWDER COATING

Epoxy, polyester, and urethane, hybrid thermosets as well as nylon and vinyl
thermoplastics. Textures, wrinkles, hammertones, matte or gloss, and color
matched to RAL, PANTONE (PMS), FED-STD-595, or your custom color.

Contact us to determine if our coating and process meets your UL, FDA, USDA,
NSF, AWWA, MIL SPEC, RoHS, or other requirement.

1. Electrostatic spray

Conveyor system with 5 stage clean and phosphate pretreatment, dry off oven,
spray booth, and 150 foot in-line oven with a 450F max cure temperature. Part
size opening is 36" x 66", we can handle up to 12' length (to 14' in some cases)
We apply powder manually with GEMA and NORDSEN equipment A stand alone batch
area applies powder to R&D work, small runs, extremely small parts, and parts
requiring delicate handling.

2. Fluidized bed

Existing beds to 34" x 22" x 24", custom beds fabricated as needed.

PAINTING (LIQUID)

Our "wet" paint shop specializes in MIL-SPEC finish systems, dry film
lubricants, fluoropolymer coatings including Xylan® and Dykor® conductive
coatings offering EMI/RFI shielding, and a ceramic metallic (cermet) system that
provides excellent corrosion resistance at temperatures up to 1200°F. We
primarily apply the cermet system to OE motorcycle exhaust components.

We can perform extensive masking before applying paint

1. Four separate painting lines with up to 160 feet of conveyor in each

2. Electrostatic and HVLP manual spray application

3. Ideal part size up to 24 x 66 x 24" but contact us to discuss your max part
size

4. Gas and electric cure ovens with calibrated temperature accuracy and
uniformity

5. Robotic application of liquid coating in a dedicated room with conveyor,
spray booth, electric oven, and make up air system controlling temperature and
humidity.

Dykor and Xylan are registered trademarks of Whitford Corporation

OVEN DRY & CURE

We have a number of ovens, both electric and gas fired, to dry and cure coated
parts.

All are routinely checked for temperature accuracy and uniformity - and at temps
up to 650F.

Two ovens utilize PLCs to provide control and repeatability of specific cure
cycles.

We can monitor, record, and supply objective evidence of cure temperature and
time.

All ovens were built for us and to our specifications. With ovens ranging in
size from 48 x 48 x 72" to 3 x 5 x 150' we can correctly and efficiently cure
your parts.

SUPPLY CHAIN INTEGRATION

We serve as either a Tier I or Tier II, whichever best fits your system and
needs. We use your EDI system to plan, schedule, manage our materials, and ship
finished goods.

Bar code, cycle counts, and special packaging are among the services we provide.

QUALITY

Our focus is on in process quality control, and from the moment your parts hit
our dock. We'll not only monitor the quality of our process, we can work with
your guidelines to identify and segregate non conforming parts.

Our current Quality System meets MIL-I-45208. We maintain inspection equipment
to monitor coating thickness, gloss, adhesion, surface roughness, proper cure,
oven accuracy, and condition of cleaning and pretreatment chemistry.

We use accredited labs for the testing we can't perform in house - including
salt spray to ASTM B117.

We can follow your quality specs and inspection plan or work with you to develop
a plan that assures coated parts that meet or exceed your expectations.

Quality at ACT includes proper documentation, labeling, packaging to protect
coated or delicate surfaces, shipping on your specified carrier. And, we'll
accurately handle your drop ship, bar code, and EDI requirements.
