Stove Enamelling

Stove enamelling is a traditional baked-on paint finishing process. It offers a hard protective engineering coating in a wide range of textures and colours, including smooth, hammer and spatter finish.

It substitutes well for powder coating for small batch size, where components are not suitable for stoving to high temperatures, but can be cooked up to 120 degrease.

Pre -treatment is done by chemically degreasing surfaces and, where appropriate, by grit blasting.

Thickness can be controlled to specification from 25 to 250 microns by the number of coats applied from the spray gun by the applicator.
