What Is The Big Deal About Water?

• Welcome !!
• Disclaimer This Presenter Of This Presentation
  Has Been Trained To Use PPG Paint. Therefore,
  The Presentation Is Bases On Many PPG Facts.
  Other Paint Manufactures May Vary In
  Recommendations.

Water discussion
3

• Many Base Coat Do Not Have Catalyst
• Catalyzed Products Have Most Of The Isocyanides
• Why Did They Start With Base Coat.?

4

• Its All About VOC (Volatile Organic Compound)

5

• VOCs Are The Solvents That Pollute The Air
• Many Base Coat Are Reduced 100 With Solvents.
• This Means That Half Of The Base Coat Is Solvent
  Without What Was Is Already In The Paint.

6

• What Happens To All Of The Solvents In Base Coat?

7

• It Evaporates Into The Air
• Thats The Big Deal
• Primers and Clears Are High Solids Less
  Evaporation More Stays On The Painted Surface.

  used.
• No Wood Stir Sticks
• Use Plastic Containers
• 75 to 80 Overlap
• May Require A Control Coat

15

• Air Movement

16
Core Technology

• Micro-Gel Anti-Settle technology
• Solid core delivers durable color
• Outer shell fingers cling together for
  stability
• To untangle just give it a shake

Solvent vs. Water

• Waterborne is ½ the thickness of solvent base
• The finely dispersed pigments allow hiding in
  thinner films

0.7-1.2 mils

19
Solvent vs. Water

• Waterborne has one solvent that evaporates at the
  same rate with air flow
• The latex fingers cling together as the water
  is extracted
• As a result
• Less color shift
• Metallics dont sink or orientate incorrectly
• Reduced blotchiness

Use approx 25 less sprayable base
Reduce only 10-30 vs 100
Mix approx 30 more basecoat color

22
Lab work, pre discussion

• What do you want to see in the booth?
• How long to powder nib your Base?
• How long to sand your base?
• How long to tape for two tone?

23
What if ???

• What if you could remove 1/3 of the color match
  variables in your shop?

• Mastering the MIXING ROOM
• Take a little time now to save a lot of time
  later
• Publish date Oct 1, 2008By Al Thomas

25

• MIXING The mixing of a formula should be done
  with care. Many paint manufacturers recommend
  that toners be agitated for 30 minutes at the
  beginning of the day and three other times per
  day for 15 minutes each. There are some coatings
  that should not be overmixed.
• Some paint manufacturers recommend that new
  toners be placed in a shaker for as much as 30
  minutes before attaching an agitation lid and
  placing it on the mixing bank.

26

• TONER BANK Toners should all be turning when
  being agitated. Some mixing machines have a
  yellow plastic piece that bounces as the paddle
  turns in the toner can, making it easy to see
  when it is not turning. Others must be checked
  more closely. Dented cans or cans whose lids
  don't fit properly may keep the toner paddle from
  mixing.

27

• CORRUPT BANK A corrupt bank occurs when a toner
  is poured off without being agitated or before it
  is in correct suspension. If a toner is poured
  off in this state, that formula mix won't match.
  But more importantly, the colors mixed with that
  corrupt toner are not likely to match either.

28

• CORRUPT BANK This mishap can occur without being
  noticed. Even if the painter suspects a corrupt
  bank, finding the bad toner or toners is
  difficult. You can see this is a difficult and
  tedious process, but it can be avoided by proper
  agitation.

29
What if ??

• You never had to shake or agitate paint again!

30
What does stirring and shaking paint cost?

• ____ minutes to stir before pouring
• ____ Minutes waiting for new toner
• ____ minutes per job
• ____ Jobs per week
• Lean manufacturing principles teach us about
  removing waste
• Extra time in process waste

31
Effects of Waste

• Increased cycle time
• Increased cost, labor and utilities
• Decreased Customer satisfaction (CSI)
• Decreased profit
• Lower insurance satisfaction (Less Work)

Equipment
37
Mixing Equipment

• Flexible Cabinet Design Options
• L-shape corner design
• Mount on the 92mm Alliance mixing base requires
  DEX406 retrofit kit
• Optional thermostat controlled mixing room heater
  DEX410
• Pouring doser
• No mixing paddles required
• Easy to pour
• Equipment May Vary According To Paint Manufacture

38
Application Equipment

• 3 key focus areas for waterborne application
• Spraying
• Drying
• Cleaning

39
Spraying Equipment

• Spray Equipment
• Recommended to use spray guns designed for use
  with waterborne basecoat
• General Guidelines
• 1.2 to 1.4 Fluid Tip recommendation
• Must be dedicated for water
• Must have corrosion resistant components
• For a complete guide reference the gun set up
  chart. Part DOX440

40
Drying Equipment

• Waterborne requires good air flow to expedite the
  evaporation of the water from the basecoat
• While temperature and humidity play a roll in the
  drying of EHP, increasing the feet per minute of
  air passing over the surface is key for excellent
  productivity
• Generally, 200 FPM or greater will lead to
  excellent results

41
Drying Equipment

• Air drying systems include
• Booth retro-fits
• Venturi hand-held systems
• Booth changes

42
Drying Equipment

• Booth retro-fits
• Blowers

43
Drying Equipment

• Booth retro-fits
• Blowers
• Fans

44
Drying Equipment

• Venturi systems
• Hand-held
• Floor stands

45
Drying Equipment

• Booth changes
• Accelerated air

46
Cleaning Equipment

• Gun cleaner makers, such as Drester and Herkules,
  offer systems that integrate the use of T499 or
  P872-1000 Flocculating Powder
• T499 or P872-1000 separates out the solids
  allowing the water to be re-used efficiently,
  minimizing waterborne waste It is possible to
  reuse the filtrate from the process at least ten
  times before cleaning properties diminish

47
Waste Disposal

• The solid sludge collected from the treatment
  process is classified as Controlled Waste and
  should be disposed of in accordance with local
  regulations

48
Equipment costs

• Gun washer, 1,500 - 3,500
• Blowers 100. - 350.
• 2 blowers on stand 700.

• Environmentally friendly
• Students Search Green

51
The Environment

• Benefits to the air we breathe
• For a shop that mixes an average of 1 gallon
  of basecoat per week, the move to waterborne
  saves over 300 lbs of VOC annually
• thats the equivalent of eliminating the
  emissions of more than 1250 cars per year
• Best of all - Going Green with Envirobase HP
  or Aquabase plus doesnt require sacrifice in
  performance or quality

52
Can I Market Water?

• The Green Trend Is Alive and growing.
• Think it doesnt influence the general publics
  buying habits??? JD Power and Associates says
  it does for over 63 of all consumers over the
  age of 21.
• Insurance companies like sending their insured to
  Green shops.
