What does a coater operator do?

The Coating Machine Operator turns control dials of machines to regulate speed of coating head, UV lamps, and flow of chemicals that maintain specified coat weight. The Coating Machine Operator mixes coating solution to specified recipe and starts equipment to pump mixture into machine reservoir.

What is UV coating machine?

A UV coating machine is used to apply the coating after printing. UV coatings can vary in reflectivity and thickness, depending on the application, though a high-gloss or subtle matte UV coating are typically used for premium printing applications.

What is a paint line operator?

Paint Line Operator – 1st Shift Job Summary. The Paint Line Operator works in a paint booth for a production line using a 2K wet paint system. Responsibilities. Apply coatings with all types of spray equipment to meet coverage. Paint the parts and understand the acceptable quality of finish.

How is coating done?

The coating process consists of applying a coating material to a moving web of flexible substrate. The carrier substrate may be paper, film, or aluminum foil and the resulting material’s additional properties will vary depending on the required application and on the material’s end-use.

What is the difference between UV and aqueous coating?

Aqueous coatings are less glossy than a UV coating and are more resistant to cracking when folded. Aqueous coating can only be applied as a flood, as opposed to UV coatings, which can be applied as either a flood or a spot. This is the least expensive finishing option.

What are the 2 types of coatings?

Coatings are specified as organic or inorganic according to the nature of their binder. Organic coatings are those that have an organic binder. Inorganic coatings are those that have an inorganic binder such as a silicate.

What is a aqueous coating?

What is Aqueous Coating? Aqueous coating is a water-based, environmentally friendly coating that dries quickly when applied to printed materials. This coating is clear, but also has the capability to create a satin, soft-touch or glossy finish.

What is the thickness of powder coating?

2-3 mils
The standard film thickness for a standard powder coating for optimum mechanicals is between 60 and 80 microns (~2-3 mils). Thickness measurements of powder can be taken before and after curing.

What type of paint is used in powder coating?

The two most common types of Fluoropolymers found in powder coatings are FEVE and PVDF. PVDF Fluoropolymers always need a primer beneath them – whether liquid or powder and are much more difficult to bond when creating metallic powders.

How many types of coating machines are there?

Clearly, you can see we have 3 different types of standard coating pan machines.

Which powder used in powder coating?

The two most widely used types of polyester powder: TGIC (tri glycidyl isocyanurate) and non-TGIC, which is also known as TGIC-free or sometimes a ‘Primid’. Both TGIC and TGIC-free polyesters offer good mechanical resistance, including great flexibility and impact resistance, and good chemical resistance.
