Nanostructured Coatings

We provide professional powder coating services to achieve a smooth and pleasant finish on your products. The powder coating process ensures efficient and longlasting surface coverage and costs are considerably optimized. The Profinox team recommends the use of powder coating if you want the surface of your product to have a different look from the one obtained through stainless steel sandblasting or mechanical finishing. You can choose powder coating both for a normal stainless steel painting process, and for elements obtained by laser cutting. The powder coating service performed by Profinox provides you with a highperformance and efficient technique. The process is carried out using a fine powder (a thermoplastic or thermosetting polymer) which is sprayed on and adheres electrostatically to the substrate. After the powder has been evenly distributed, the final step is to fix the paint.

SPIROL offers robust, vertical installation machines specifically designed to post-mould install Compression Limiters into a variety of plastic assemblies. The machines can install a single Compression Limiter or multiple Compression Limiters simultaneously into various polymers, thermoplastics and thermosets. SPIROL’s Compression Limiter Installation Machines are versatile solutions designed to be retooled to accommodate changing part configurations. All designs incorporate standardized machine components to reduce factory lead time, improve component reliability, and lower component costs. SPIROL also specializes in application-specific fixtures to ensure that all assembly components are held accurately in place through the installation process.

“Powder coating” is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint, which is delivered using an evaporating solvent, powder coating is usually electrostatically applied and then heat-cured. The powder can be a thermoplastic or a thermoset polymer. It is usually used to create a hard finish that is harder than traditional paints. Powder painting is mainly used for coating metals such as household appliances, aluminium profiles, drum components, and car and bicycle parts. Newer technologies allow powder coating with other materials, such as MDF (Medium Density Fiber), using a variety of methods. Powder coating is very often used to properly prepare and protect various metal materials. Choosing this technique is very cost-effective as it has many advantages. Any defects and inaccuracies that remain after processing are hidden under the applied layer of varnish. Moreover, such coatings will be resistant

Riga Dot Product Birch plywood (Riga Ply) overlaid with a phenol, UV resistant or melamine film on both faces. The wear face has a special surface pattern (WT). Pattern gives dot effect. The reverse face usually is smooth (F). Film color Phenol films: Dark brown 120 and 220g/m2, Black 120g/m2 , Light Brown 120g/m2, yellow 167g/m2. UV resistant films: Dark grey 220g/m2, Light grey 220g/m2, White melamine 200g/m2, Opal white 174g/m2. Under transparent films BB grade veneer can be applied. Applications Transport industry: finishing of walls and ceilings; industrial furniture: components, shelving system and table tops; shop fitting; exhibition stands; booths, advertisment and information boards. Advantages Environmentally friendly, durable, easily workable, hygienic, odour free, easy-to-clean, wear resistant, weather- and water-proof, resists commonly used chemicals. Further processing Plywood can be machined with wood working tools: cutting, drilling, milling, jointing in length, tongue and groove (T&G), half laps, profiled edges etc. Overlaying A matt phenol, UV resistant or melamine film, which is hot-pressed onto the surface, is used as an overlay. The phenol film is composed of a basic paper which is impregnated with phenol resin. The UV resistant film is impregnated with a special thermosetting mixture of polymers containing amino resins. The melamine film is a modified resin based film with improved crack resistance for the decorative lamination of plywood. Overlaying with higher resistance to abrasion and multi-layer overlaying is also possible (respectively 240g/m2; 440g/m2, etc.). Multi-layer overlaying gives superior wear resistance.

Epoxy Resins are reactive intermediates used to produce a versatile class of thermosetting polymers. They are characterized by the presence of a three-membered cyclic ether group commonly referred to as an epoxy group, 1,2-epoxide, or oxirane. The most widely used epoxy resins are diglycidyl ethers of bisphenol A derived from bisphenol A and epichlorohydrin. The outstanding performance characteristics of the thermosets derived from bisphenol A epoxies are largely conveyed by the bisphenol A moiety (toughness, rigidity, and elevated temperature performance), the ether linkages (chemical resistance), and the hydroxyl and epoxy groups (adhesive agents). In addition to bisphenol A, other starting materials such as aliphatic glycols and both phenol and o-cresol novolacs are used to produce specialty resins.
