PantaTec Enhances Your Paint and Coating Quality

PantaTec Reduces Your Blasting Costs, Improves Your Paints and Coatings Quality

Blasting is nowadays frequently used for surface cleaning before coating and painting, to achieve appropriate surface roughness, or to give parts a more uniform appearance in final processing stages. Since the blasting process is an operation in the final stages of production, many substances carried over from previous processes affect your blasting process and blasting machine. For example: oils, greases, various mold release agents and cutting oils, corrosion protection oil on metal, release agent spray during welding, coolant lubricants and tapping oils… Parts contaminated in previous operations must be washed or cleaned before the blasting operation. If this process is not applied due to washing and cleaning costs, coating and paint peeling occurs on parts over time. If there is no painting or coating process, darkened surface appearances emerge. PantaTec steps in precisely at this point. PantaTec ULTIMATE is an inorganic purifying additive that captures and fixes contaminants through its physical properties. Greases, oils, etc. used in production are effectively separated from the blasting environment, the blasting system, and most importantly from blasted surfaces. PantaTec ULTIMATE additive particles combined with dirt such as oil and grease are then easily removed from the system by the blasting machine's air extraction, and its dry structure prevents clogging in filters. Besides its remarkable effectiveness, PantaTec ULTIMATE additive has a neutral effect on subsequent coating and painting processes. It is non-toxic, solvent-free, and easily applicable. Oiled blasting sand causes your machine's filters to clog and increases dust quantity inside the machine. Increased dust quantity leads to longer blasting times, reduced energy efficiency, and failure to achieve the surface roughness values and surface tension values required for proper coating and paint adhesion. Clogged filters are one of the primary causes of fires that can occur in blasting machines. Oil on your blasting sand creates a layer on the part surface, causing painting and coating problems, which leads to additional costs such as coating or paint removal and re-blasting. According to research conducted worldwide with blasting machine manufacturers, a 2% increase in dust inside the machine causes 50% more wear on machine parts, which generates additional spare parts and labor costs for your operation. PantaTec ULTIMATE additive can be easily added to your blasting machine manually or with the automatic dosing unit PantaTec INJECTO. Approximate consumption rates are approximately 0.5 liters per hour of active blasting time for a single-turbine blasting machine. Considering blasting costs, the benefits of PantaTec can be listed as follows: • Personnel, cleaning materials, time, and equipment costs required for part cleaning before blasting are eliminated or minimized. • Your spare parts and service costs are reduced. • Process times are optimized with reduced dust quantity in the blasting machine. • Reduces energy consumption. • Appropriate surface roughness and surface tension values are easily achieved, and re-blasting costs are eliminated. • Lower customer complaint risk. • Reduces your fire and explosion risk and the resulting costs. • Increases the availability of your blasting facility. • Requires no initial investment. The oil problem in your blasting machines can be easily solved with PantaTec ULTIMATE with significantly less effort and significant cost savings.
