Wet Application Processes

For the above processes the slips are made very thick and with a high density to ensure a uniform run off and a sufficient layer thickness. 

In spraying processes the slip is mainly applied by robots from spraying pistols. Spray application is particularly used for large objects such as baths and flat-ware. The slips are more watery and have a lower density than those for dip coating and flow coating. 

Spray application can also be carried out electrostatically by applying electrical voltage differences of the order of lOOkV between the pistol and the object, which significantly reduces the slip losses, since the number of suspension droplets which reach the object is higher. 

All wet coated components must be dried before stoving. This is earned out with infrared radiation or in air convection driers.
