Application Techniques for Low-Temp Curing Coatings


UNICHEM’s low-temperature curing coatings are applied using advanced methodologies tailored for the drum and pail industry. These techniques ensure an even, durable finish that enhances the longevity and functionality of metal containers.

Spray Application
Spray application is a common method for drum and pail coatings. This process is ideal for coating the interiors and exteriors of drums, ensuring comprehensive coverage. Spray-applied coatings are cured quickly, which speeds up production without sacrificing quality.

Sheet Coating Application
In sheet coating, metal sheets are coated before being formed into containers. This technique allows for consistent application across large surfaces and is ideal for operations where coated sheets are fabricated into containers at a later stage.

Key Properties of Low-Temperature Curing Coatings
