Automotive Manufacturing

Automotive paint shops involve a wide array of process areas that require close monitoring and control for optimal quality paint jobs. The pretreatment, air supply house, VOC abatement system, ovens, paint booths, dry filter booth, sludge pits or hoppers, and air and water quality play a critical role in DPU counts and FTQ rates.  Read more about how Nalco Water Total Paint Booth Management optimizes paint booth efficiencies, simplifies supplier accountability, and lowers total cost of operations through holistic paint booth solutions.

APEX™ Paint Detackification Technology has been successfully implemented in paint booth systems using all kinds of paint types (polyurethanes, 2K clear coats, high solids primers, high solids solvent-borne basecoats, and high solids water-borne basecoats). APEX™ technology delivers complete paint detackification with improved overall system collection efficiency and cleanliness. 

Transportation and automotive manufacturing sites have a new playbook in place on employee and workplace safety when restarting operations. New procedures and policies around disinfection and sanitation are put in place to ensure a safe working environment. Our Nalco Water and Ecolab Experts enable sites to find correct and approved products for each area of operations. The Ecolab Infection Program and products are dispensed in a safe, easy-to-use platform and administered through effective training and validation tools. This approach not only allows for better adoption by employees or cleaning crews to execute on the new safety procedures, and helps manage safety risks.

Automotive paint shops consume thousands of gallons of high purity water each day in pretreatment operations.  High purity water can be costly due to the close attention and labor the unit requires to maintain efficient and safe operations.  Nalco Water can be your turnkey solutions provider for all your full-sized and mobile RO and DI needs.
