Painting

Conditions and challenges

Paint coatings for shipbuilding, bridges, water towers, offshore platforms, automotive, aircraft and chemical tankers require low humidity to ensure coatings bond properly to the different surfaces. Ambient dew points cause condensation on cool metal surfaces effecting coating finishes significantly.

What we can do for you

Our desiccant system controls humidity conditions over long blasting periods. Painting crews can complete an entire blast in one cycle and the dry air can be delivered over long distances energy efficiently. This helps painters and coaters stay on schedule, meet specifications and assure high quality finished product.

Our solution

Munters industrial dehumidification makes it possible to paint industrial components in optimized environmental condition, eliminating condensation, and allowing self-polishing co-polymer (SPC) contractors to blast and paint during the most extreme conditions. With precise humidity control the electrolytic cycle can be broken, and rates of corrosion are significantly reduced.
