Even better, even more environmentally friendly: microcor zinc flake coating gets a hardware upgrade
For more than 40 years, EOT has been protecting metal parts from almost all areas of application from corrosion with the microcor zinc flake coating. Now the coating process is getting a hardware upgrade. From April 2022, microcor will be the only coating in Germany to be applied to products with Forplan FORPLANET in a way that is as high-quality and environmentally friendly as never before. But why exactly is the combination of microcor and FORPLANET so superior?
The perfect coating – applied like never before
microcor exploits the potential of the zinc flake coating material to the maximum. The entire coating process is optimised down to the smallest detail for the product properties of the material to be coated. From the composition of the material to the curing process, everything is just right.
No wonder that the hardware upgrade by the FORPLANET fits seamlessly into the individualised coating process. Every speed, every temperature range is programmed exactly by the EOT coating professionals down to the decimal place.
Exactly as it has been done up to now. So where is the upgrade?
Coating drum goods as perfectly as by hand
Manufacturers of small components with complex structures are the main beneficiaries of the upgrade. In the Forplan FORPLANET, the microcor zinc flake coating is applied evenly to every component, no matter how small. As a result, microcor-coated components withstand the demands as well as if each one had been carefully coated by hand.
How do you achieve this perfect coating result?
The FORPLANET XXL offers EOT coating professionals even better ways to apply the microcor zinc flake coating. Many small details make the machine an upgrade for quality and the environment. The decisive advantage, however, lies in the coating unit itself.
Even the optimised dipping process eliminates weak spots during the first coating pass before they occur. The rotation around two axes during centrifugation ensures the even distribution of the coating material even on complex material surfaces. Surface changes in sensitive areas are thus finally a thing of the past.
The result: flawless coatings and vanishingly low reject rates
Thanks to the hardware upgrade, the microcor zinc flake coating undercuts itself. With one million coated parts, the number of rejected parts now disappears far behind the decimal point, depending on the coating material.
This is due not only to the optimised wetting process and the rotation around two axes of the centrifuge, but also to the careful material handling. Each angle of repose is optimally matched to the material to be coated. This protects the perfectly coated corners and edges and avoids contact surfaces and impact edges.
microcor makes end products greener than ever before
microcor means the best coating quality. And microcor means environmentally friendly coating. That's why the hardware upgrade has a green side in addition to the plus in quality. It thus forms another piece of the puzzle in EOT's environmentally friendly coating process.
The previous measures consisting of air pollution control and complete energy utilisation with combined heat and power plants are now complemented by the FORPLANET's optimal use of resources. Every drop of the microcor coating material is collected and fed back into the process.
For the coating material, this means: with microcor, CO2 emissions per coated part are further reduced. On average, 54% less CO2 now distinguishes microcor from conventional coating.
