Single Pack (1k) Paint Systems

Single pack primer & finish is quick and simple – a single product that acts as primer and finish all in one. A visually pleasing finish to metalwork in mild situations. Some single pack primer/finishes also contain a zinc additive to prevent corrosion.

1K (single pack) paints react with oxygen in the air. This forms a durable enamel film, without adding a hardener. Single pack is often cheaper than many coatings. It’s also safe, convenient and easy to use. One Pack will generally dry quicker than 2 Pack. It will air dry without the use of an activator or hardener.

Single Pack Systems offer:

• Excellent adhesion to a wide range of substrates including sensitive plastics such as polypropylene
• Excellent Durability and abrasion resistance
• Air-dry within 60 minutes
• Excellent colour and gloss retention over extended periods

Typical uses

• Plastic Mouldings
• GRP and polypropylene
• ABS and other named plastics
• Safes
• Audio-visual equipment
• Domestic appliances
• Medical
• Mannequin paints
• Toys and Games paints
• Shop fittings
• Display cases and unit paints
• Sport equipment

2 Pack Polyurethane

Two pack (2K) polyurethane paints offer the ideal solution on components which cannot be oven cured. These are widely used as a final decorative coat over multi-coat wet paint systems. Two-pack poly is available in a huge colour range, various gloss levels, and gives good UV resistance and weathering. Also suitable for applying to plastics and electrical equipment.

2 Pack Acrylic Paint

Acrylic (2 Pack) paint has a very high gloss and is an extremely durable automotive paint. There is generally no need for a topcoat lacquer. When fully cured, it’s resistance to petrol and stone chips makes it very hard wearing, therefore highly versatile. It’s also uneffected by UV rays. Drying times are determined by hardeners. Acrylics can also be cured in a low bake oven.

The benefits of using a Two Pack Systems over Powder Coating are fundamentally the same as those for Stove Enamelling, with the obvious advantage of the lower material and labour costs involved.

Typical uses include:

Steel fabrications. Electrical enclosures. Structural steelwork. Agricutural machinery. Automotive Parts. Safes. Machinery parts. Security and CCTV. Lighting. Interior and Exterior applications.
WEEE and ROSH Compliant coatings
