Why You Should Speak with a Chemical Supplier When Considering a New Finishing System

 

When planning a new finishing system—especially for powder coating—one of the most important early steps is consulting a chemical supplier. According to John Claman of IntelliFinishing, many manufacturers exploring in-house finishing may not fully understand the pretreatment requirements for their specific products, making early input from a chemical supplier especially valuable.

Chemical experts like Ed Dole from Lincoln Chemical Corporation help determine key factors such as the number of washer stages, types of cleaners and conversion coatings, and whether wastewater treatment is needed. Some suppliers also offer pilot testing to validate processes before full-scale installation.

With the pretreatment process clearly defined, IntelliFinishing can seamlessly incorporate those requirements into a custom system—delivering energy-efficient, space-saving solutions with greater flexibility than traditional monorail or power-and-free systems.
