Metal Painting and Decorating

UV-curable paint on metal gas cylinders

UV-curable paints and coatings are used on metal substrates such as steel (untreated and phosphate treated), galvanized steel, and aluminum to provide corrosion resistance and product appeal. For example, metal nameplates and identification tags are silk screened with UV inks, and three-dimensional parts like oil filters, portable propane tanks (gas cylinders) and automotive components are sprayed with 100% solids UV liquid paint coatings. Noblelight works closely with the customer and the formulators specializing in direct-to-metal UV coatings to develop a UV curing process to meet your needs.

UV Metal Painting and Decorating Advantages:

  • Lower production costs
