PREPERATION & PRETREATMENTS

Preparation/Pretreatments are paramount to the quality of the finished product. Technique Finishing has invested heavily again in providing plant & expertise to ensure this  part of the process is achieved to the highest standards.

Shot blasting
Technique finishing shot blasting unit is capable of cleaning & abrading products up to 8 metre’s long by 2.4 metres wide. We have seen excellent results in both high quality and longevity of our clients products and believe a blast profile will always provide the best surface to apply a variety of finishes. This process can be applied to most substrates by increasing or lowering the level of shot.

Masking
Specialized masking solutions have been created and adapted at Technique Finishing to provide the perfect edge to lay paint  against. We have developed masking jig systems for large batch runs which reduces labor costs for our clients. Our masking ability from client drawings is technical and accurate taking away the chance of reworking affecting lead times.

Metalisation
Thermal spray application know as hot zinc coating is fast becoming a replacement for galvanizing on outer surfaces to be painted as this process does not require any fettling before applying finish paint coats thus saving time and money for our clients. Prolonging the life your products is essential in various environments and this process achieves this time and time again giving the protection to your products.
