Application methods roller

A matter of considerable importance in the selection of an application method is its efficiency. Spray techniques are usually inefficient, since many droplets drift past the target and are lost. Even electrostatic spraying can waste as much as 35% of the paint. There is some loss of paint in most methods, but roller coating, curtain coating and electrodeposition are very efficient. Electrodeposition is also a very useful technique where corrosion resistance is important, since it applies a uniform coating over nearly all surfaces of even the most complex-shaped article. 

The use of kerosene as a solvent in paints and insecticides increases the likelihood of exposure by painters, particularly when spray applicators are used (Fidler et al. 1987), and in exterminators. Use of a respirator, alternate application methods (brush or roller), and increased ventilation can all reduce worker exposure to the solvent vapor. 

The properties of a typical Chevron sulfur composite are shown in Table I. One desirable feature is the low melt viscosity in the 250°-300°F range. This provides considerable latitude in the choice of application methods. Spray has proven to be effective for many uses. Brush, roller, and dipping have also been used for some coating applications. Most composites can be put into service immediately after application because they attain most of their strength and durability shortly after they solidify from the melt. 

Use of application methods that can use relatively high-viscosity paints is advantageous. Appropriate methods include roller coating, special electrostatic spray equipment, hot-spray techniques, and two-nozzle spray guns. 

Basically, the system is comprised of two liquid components - an oligomeric liquid blend (usually acrylic), and a dilute solution of an often proprietary free radical initiator or activator. Application methods are similar to those used for contact adhesives the oligomeric portion is applied by brush, roller or spray to one surface, and the initiator solution is applied in a thin (quasi-monomolecular) film to the other surface. The two films are non-air inhibited and may be left open, unbonded for many hours with no adverse effect on subsequent bonding operations. 

With respect to application methods, blood glues can be spread on wood surfaces by most conventional means. These include roller, knife, and extrusion but do not include curtain coating or spray, for which the glues must be thinned below practical film retention levels. The major advantage of alkaline-dispersed blood glues over all other wood glues except resorcinol-based synthetic resin adhesives is their sensitivity to heat, resulting in extremely... 

Special dispensing equipment must be used to apply hot-melt adhesives. Typical application methods include the use of rollers, screw extruders, and squirting pumps or nozzle applicators. 

Rollers are a versatile application method and range from simple glue rollers fed from a reservoir to highly sophisticated systems with several rolls, suitable for hot-melt, solvent-based, water-based, and solvent-free reactive adhesives (Figs. 2 - 6). The coating thickness is regulated by the distance between the rollers, the friction between them (different rotational speeds) and/or by blades. By this means, it is possible to apply from 0.5 g/m up to > 20 g/m in a very precise operation.

Paint coatings are perhaps the most versatile and widely applied method of corrosion protection, offering a wide range of decorative colours and textures and the ability to coat complex structures. While the formulation and chemistry of paints is complex, the cured paint film consists, in essence, of a cross-linked organic polymer film (or binder ) containing a dispersed filler (pigment) together with additional solids and inhibitors. A broad spectrum of application methods is used but the vast majority of paint is applied by brush, spray or roller. 

Solvent cements are usually supplied at concentrations of 10-25% solids, with viscosities in the range of 1,000-30,000 cPs. They may be applied by brush, spray, doctor blade, reverse-roll coater, hand roller, trowel, and many other application methods. The proper coating of the adhesive is obtained by establishing the correct viscosity for the particular application method. After application, the solvent is removed by ambient drying or by forced drying in heated ovens or tunnels. 

Alternatively, some coating systems are characterized by the application method used. For example, for coil-coated metal sheet (commonly steel or galvanized steel), very specialized high-speed roller application equipment is used to coat the sheet steel as it is unwound from a coil. The paint used in the coil-coating process can be of virtually any generic type, although alkyds, polyesters, epoxies, and zinc-rich epoxy coatings are the most prevalent. 

Seam adhesives are used in manufacturing the side, center, bottom and diagonal seams of the envelopes. Several different types are used including dextrin, resin, and dextrin/resin and starch/resin blends. The specific type used depends on the required adhesion level, application method and machine speed. As the envelope producing machine speed increases, dextrin and dextrin/resin are being replaced by starch/resin blends which are applied by roller, stencil or extrusion.
