| Xiom introduces portable plastic powder coating Xiom Corporation has introduced new completely portable plastic polymer spray system. With this system, it is possible to powder coat anything of any size, indoors or out, quickly and easily. Xiom has also designed a complete line of unique mixed polymer coatings to be used with its spray system. Because these coatings are actually a hard plastic, they are more durable and weather resistant than conventional powder coating and there is no dripping, no overspray problems and absolutely no volatile organic chemicals. With conventional powder coating, objects that are coated must be cured in large ovens. Oven-curing makes conventional powder coating very costly and prevents it from being portable. The Xiom 1000 system weighs just 70 pounds and consists of a spray gun, powder feeder and control console. It can be used anywhere compressed air is available. The control console controls the flow of propane, oxygen and compressed air, as well as the delivery of the coating material. The gun, which permits uses to start and stop the spraying process, diffuses the gases, forming a 'perfect flame'. The flame heats the Xiom coatings to their melting point and sprays them onto a surface. The melted plastic then forms a chemical bond with that surface and hardens instantly. And the system’s ease of operation means that anyone can learn to use it in a matter of hours. Xiom’s coatings line comes in many colors and has a large number of uses. In addition to providing weatherproofing, the coatings can be used to encapsulate arsenic in wood, halt the growth of mold, provide for easy removable of graffiti, create non-slip surfaces and generally prolong the life of metal, glass, fiberglass, wood and concrete. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
