Painting Process
Uniform SpA uses a modern painting system that can guarantee quality and rapid service.
The system allows you to automatically paint aluminium bars, frames, plates and accessories with maximum
dimensions of 2400 x 6000 mm.
The painting process is developed in three main phases:
1 PRE-TREATMENT 2 POWDER APPLICATION
Tanks Drying
Load
Powder

3 CROSS-LINKING

Baking oven
1 PRE-TREATMENT Seaside Cycle
Pre-treatment carried out according to the requirements prescribed by the Seaside Cycle, requires a minimum
removal of 2,0 g/m², with respect to the basic Qualicoat pre-treatment, which requires a minimum removal of only
1,0 g/m²: this guarantees better binding of the powder to counteract the phenomenon of corrosion.
The products used for the pre-treatment are all branded Qualicoat and have a low environmental impact.
Degreasing – immersion in acid solution to
remove superficial oxides (removal of 2 g/m² as required
by the Seaside Cycle) and counteract the phenomenon of
filiform corrosion.
Immersion tank Rinsing – rinse with mains water and demineralised water
to remove any salt residue and even out the electrical
conductivity of the surface.
Chemical conversion – immersion in a chromium-free
solution to improve the binding properties of the powder
and subsequent bath in a tank with demineralised water.
Drying – material introduced into the hot air oven.

Painting Process 2 POWDER APPLICATION thermosetting polyester Polyester powders have a lasting effect and a high barrier effect. They are applied by electrostatic attraction, thereby ensuring even distribution over the entire surface, even in more difficult areas. Uniform does not use polyurethane powders, but polyester powders due to their proven greater stability and reliability for architectural applications. 3 CROSS-LINKING of the powder in the oven After applying the powder, the pieces are immediately baked between 180°C and 200°C for 20 minutes. The time left inside the oven guarantees optimum polymerisation of the powders with the creation of a solid film.
Qualicoat test methods
Uniform SpA regularly performs accelerated ageing and corrosion resistance tests in very critical
atmospheres, regulated according to European legislation and according to the parameters set forth by
the Qualicoat brand.
QUALICOAT is an organisation that manages a quality brand of
aluminium and its alloys for architectural applications.
The results must be verifiable according to certain technical
specifications in order to determine if the painting fulfils the
customer's requirements.
The purpose of QUALICOAT is to provide practical rules
to guarantee the quality of paint on aluminium.
Mechanical tests
The mechanical tests are intended to verify that there is no detachment and/or cracking in the paint and are
performed daily on 4 finishes so as to monitor any anomalies in the production process.

Uniform anti-corrosion treatments Qualicoat Seaside Pre-treatment As a standard, to ensure maximum resistance to the phenomenon of filiform corrosion, all Uniform painted products (profiles, frames, plates, etc.) are pre-treated according to the QUALICOAT SEASIDE directives at no extra cost to the customer. Welding “plus” The corners of frames, shutters and blinds intended for areas having an aggressive atmosphere (e.g. coastal and urban areas, industrial areas with strong emissions of combustion gases, railway areas, etc.) can be welded with a special technology developed by Uniform that counteracts the phenomenon of corrosion. This treatment is called WELDING PLUS and is only executed upon specific customer request following confirmation of the offer in addition to the basic QUALICOAT SEASIDE pre-treatment. Powder in Class 2 In areas with AASR (Annual Average Solar Radiation) greater than 5,400 Mj/m² and in particular, in areas with an aggressive atmosphere (e.g. coastal and urban areas, industrial areas with strong emissions of combustion gases, railway areas, etc.), a Class 2 Qualicoat polyester powder can be used, which compared to Class 1 (standard), offers far superior resistance to atmospheric agents (especially to sea salt and UV light), as well as better resistance to corrosion, thanks to the thicker bonds that form during polymerisation. Class 2 powder is only applied upon a specific customer request, as an alternative to Class 1 powder used as standard. An offer must be requested for Class 2 powder to check the price and availability of the desired RAL (the colour range of Class 2 is more limited than Class 1).
