The Challenge
Paint and coating manufacturers must remove contaminants, gel particles, and foreign matter that can cause finish defects, spray gun clogging, and quality complaints.
The Solution: Multi-Point Filtration Strategy
Filter bags remove contaminants at various production stages, from raw material preparation through final packaging. Different materials handle water-based and solvent-based systems.
Recommended Filter Selection:
- Water-Based Paints: Polypropylene felt (5-50 micron)
- Solvent-Based Systems: Nylon felt (10-100 micron) for chemical resistance
- High-Viscosity Coatings: Extended life media for longer service
Key Benefits
- Prevents spray equipment clogging
- Eliminates finish defects from contamination
- Chemical compatibility with various solvents
- High dirt-holding capacity reduces changeouts
System Design
Consider material compatibility with specific solvents and additives. Multi-stage filtration provides better contamination control.
