Paint mixing equipment easy to keep clean with Impreglon coating.

Application
Containers and agitators are used for mixing in the production of paints and lacquers. The process involves mixing paint at high speed but, before new paint is mixed, the container and agitator must be completely cleaned.

Requirements
Cleaning the containers is very time consuming. The static charge of the agitator can cause escaping solvent vapours to react.

Coating
Coating the containers and agitators with a conductive TempCoat® coating developed specifically for this application prevents paint residue from sticking. The conductivity of the coating ensures there is no risk of the solvent igniting.

Benefits
Cleaning time is reduced and static charge is prevented.

The TempCoat® method creates a high quality polymer surface. These coatings have excellent sliding, non-stick, release and dry lubrication properties and the TempCoat® process ensures that the coating is securely anchored to the base material (substrate).


TempCoat® coatings can be applied to aluminium, castings, steel, stainless steel, ceramics, some copper alloys and with certain coating systems to carbon fibre, glass fibre and some plastics. This method is particularly well suited to applications requiring good sliding and non-stick properties as well as high resistance to wear.

The TempCoat® range is also known as ChemCoat® in other parts of the Impreglon Group.

Another range of coatings, SafeCoat®, from the Starnberger companies (which were purchased by the Impreglon Group in 2007), is being integrated into the TempCoat® range. This range of low friction and non-stick coatings compliment the TempCoat® range.

Impreglon UK also applies an impact resistant polyurethane coating with sound deadening properties. This polyurethane coating system has been specifically sourced for its adhesion properties. Available in a number of different colours, the coating thickness ranges from 1mm upwards.

FDA compliance: Yes, for most of the coatings
Coating thickness: 10 µm to 150 µm
Surface roughness (Ra): down to 1.0 µm
Temperature range: -195 °C to +270 °C (and above for a few coatings)

Bio diesel tanks coated for corrosion resistance.

Application
Tank containers for biodiesel.

Requirements
Chemical resistance and corrosion protection for interior walls.

Coating
MagnaCoat^® protects the surfaces from chemically aggressive biodiesel and offers optimum corrosion protection.

Benefits
The containers' serviceable life is markedly increased. Resurfacing, repairs and replacement are not needed as often.

MagnaCoat® surfaces are heavy-duty fluoropolymer coatings which are pinhole free. They can also offer good non-stick properties and some have high electrical and impact resistance, even at elevated temperatures. The coatings provide excellent barrier protection to resist aggressive chemicals and other sources of corrosion.

The MagnaCoat® range of coatings are probably the best corrosion resistant coatings available.
All aluminium, steel and stainless steel materials as well as many other metallic substrates can be coated with the MagnaCoat® method.

FDA compliance: Yes, for some of the coatings 
Coating thickness: 100 µm to 800 µm 
Surface roughness (Ra): down to 1.5 µm 
Temperature range: -40 °C to +260 °C (depending on the coating chosen)

Since our last post the Impreglon Group has bought another European coating applicator.


Effective December 1, 2012 Impreglon Group acquired the pipe coating division of Julius Mieden GmbH in Bottrop, Germany. Before Bilfinger & Berger AG had already acquired the protective coating division for buildings from Mieden. With 'coatings for large pipes' Impreglon closes a gap its range of services and establishes a further location in the Ruhr district of Germany. The parties agreed not to disclose the purchase price.
With currently 27 locations in 13 countries on 4 continents Impreglon is one of the worldwide leading companies in the field of surface technology.
