Paint Booth Additives

Protochem Industries is an ISO 9001 certified company with TUV, established in 1988 in collaboration with Chemische Werke Kluthe, Germany. It has established itself as the second largest manufacturer of specialty chemicals like metal working fluids, paint strippers, chromating passivation, specialty coatings, rust removers and alkaline cleaners. The removal of over sprayed paint in the paint booth is very important and critical. The live paint is a sticky mass, which is likely to adhere to the various parts of the booth like booth valves, flood sheets, venturi tubes, pipelines of water circulation, etc. The use of proper booth additive and the sludge removal system will help in minimising the problems of paint booth maintenance. The company has different range of paint coagulants like acidic, alkaline. However, it promotes a paint coagulant of neutral nature. There are certain advantages and disadvantages while using acidic/alkaline booth additive against neutral booth additive. The paint coagulant 520 Series effectively detackifies any type of paint like solvent bond or water bond. The sludge generated is in the form of small particles, which can be flocculated by using the cationic or anionic polymers. Additive T 400 Series contains specially designed flocculants. The problem of pungent smell in the booth water can be controlled by using the selective biocides at the recommended dosage.
