Home : Products : By Application : Paint Detackification

Paint detackification treats paint overspray which is captured by a water source. This captured material is then detackified and dispersed using Chemetall Americas technology. This detackified paint can remain afloat using various flocculants or be allowed to sink depending on the removal method used.
Whether you are spraying high solid water-based paint or solvent-based paint Chemetall Americas has the solution to detackify your paint. Here is a brief selection of paint detack technology available at Chemetall Americas:
Paint Detackification
A patented liquid cationic coagulant which detackifies oversprayed paint in wet paint spray booth systems. The unique combination of the primary actives in this product detackifies today's paints by chemically attacking the paint resin and by encapsulation of broken down paint particles.
A liquid cationic coagulant which detackifies oversprayed paint in wet paint spray booth systems. Detac D2430 has broad applicability, produces low volumes of easy to incinerate sludge with enhanced calorific value, promotes booth cleanliness and reduces maintenance costs in spray booth operations.
Polymeric coagulant that is effective in liquid/solid separation and detackification processes. It is especially effective as a paint detackifier in water wash booths.
This moderately acid polymer reacts and detackifies (kills) most paints.
Defoamers
For use where silicone defoamants are not desired.
Gardofloc PDF 550 is an anti-foam, organic additive which is effective at any pH but is most efficient at pH levels below 9 and temperatures up to 140°F.
Flocculents
Oakite Clairifier MPA is a liquid, highly active, high molecular weight, emulsion-type anionic used in flocculating and settling solids from various industrial waters and waste waters.
A high molecular weight, cationic polyacrylamide, Gardofloc PFC 135 is recommended for use in paint detackification applications as a settling agent; in dissolved air flotation and sludge dewatering; in centrifuge and belt press applications.
A high molecular weight cationic emulsion polymer. This product is designed to work in conjunction with Detac products as a spray booth sludge conditioning aid in flotation cells, centrifuges, and other sludge consolidation equipment.
