What are the Advantages and disadvantages of paintings?

Answer 1

Advantages:

1. Paint can be formulated to meed any color specification for your project.

2. Paint is available in a wide assortment of colors and paint types - Arcylics, Kynar's - 50% & 70% PVDF coatings, Polyesters, Silicone Polyesters.

3. Paint acts as an excellent protectant against the harsh elements that can affect the aluminium substrate.

4. Liquid coatings can be smoother than powder coatings, which exhibit some fine "orange peel" effect.

5. Bright metallic color based on aluminum flake is better in liquid technology.

6. Two-coat formulations containing 50% & 70% kynar provide excellent corrosion resistance.

Disadvantages:

1. Paints are typically environmentally unfriendly to both the atmosphere and humans, due to the hazardous VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds) they contain. Due to that fact, Keymark Corporation operates a state-of-the-art VOC abatement system in our painting process, which eliminates 96% of the hazardous VOC's associated with solvent based paints.

Color and finish appearance may vary upon factory application due to differences in spray equipment, line conditions or day-to-day process variations. It is strongly recommended that final color approval be made with actual production line samples or mock-ups, not laboratory prepared panels.

2. Preadolescent mica and metallic flakes reflect and scatter light in random patterns; therefore, exact color uniformity should not be expected. Slight color shifting should also be expected when viewing from varying angles and distances. Equipment considerations affect color and are especially critical with multiple applicators.

3. Wet paint applications use more electricity.

4. More waste is generated during application due to overspray.

5. Managing Color Expectations For High Performance Metal Coatings
