In the glass industry, where transportation plays a key role, it is important that transport racks are durable and resistant to external conditions. To this end, rack manufacturers offer two popular options for surface protection: spray painting and hot-dip galvanizing.
Spray painting is the process of applying paint to a surface using a spray gun. The paint is specially formulated for harsh conditions and offers good resistance to rust and mechanical damage. Spray painting is a cheaper option than hot-dip galvanizing, and thanks to spray technology, it allows for an even coat of paint for an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Hot-dip galvanizing is the process of coating a metal surface with zinc by dipping it in a zinc bath and then burning the residue with hot air. The galvanized coating provides protection against corrosion and mechanical damage. Although hot-dip galvanizing is a more expensive option, it is more durable than spray painting and offers long-lasting protection against rust and other damage.
When to choose powder coating and when to choose fireproofing? For transport racks for the glass industry, where the weight of the items to be transported is relatively low and aesthetic appearance is important, spray painting is a good choice. Spray-painting will provide protection against rust and mechanical damage, while achieving an aesthetically pleasing appearance at an affordable price.
However, when it comes to racks that are used in extreme conditions, such as low-temperature transportation or transporting large, heavy objects, hot-dip galvanizing is the best option. The zinc coating will not only provide protection from corrosion, but also protection from mechanical damage, providing long-lasting protection and durability.
In conclusion, the choice between spray painting and hot-dip galvanizing depends on many factors, such as transportation conditions and budget.
For transport racks for the glass industry, spray painting may be a good choice, but when it comes to extreme conditions, hot-dip galvanizing will be a better choice. The final decision should be made by the rack manufacturer, taking into account the customer’s requirements and the conditions in which the racks will be used.
In the case of transport racks for the glass industry, which need to be resistant to mechanical damage while meeting aesthetic requirements, a combination of spray painting and hot-dip galvanizing can be a good solution. This combination provides long-lasting protection against corrosion and mechanical damage, and also ensures the aesthetic appearance of the racks.
In summary, both spray painting and hot-dip galvanizing offer effective ways to protect the surface of transport racks from corrosion and mechanical damage. The final choice depends on the customer’s requirements and the conditions in which the racks will be used.
