PAINTING SYSTEMS GLISS-COAT ®
What is GLISS-COAT ®? The GLISS-COAT ® brand denotes the range of dry lubricant coatings developed by AHC and designed to reduce friction and surface wear. The coating materials are watersoluble. Various methods of application are possible. The type of
application method depends upon the geometry and quantity of parts to be coated, the type of liquid coating material used, e.g. single or multiple component system, and the requirements of the final coating.
How are GLISS-COAT ® layers built-up? The coating systems are waterbased and are completely free of heavy metals. The flow behaviour is modified to avoid any undesirable edge build-up or any drop formation at edges or in bores. Individual parts are coated using automatic flat spray units while smaller series-produced parts, for instance, are treated in special barrel-plating devices.
Most GLISS-COAT ® layers must be dried after application of the coating to achieve the required properties with regard to adhesion, hardness, corrosion protection and lubrication. During the drying process temperatures below 100 °C are generally employed. The coated parts are spread out during drying in order to ensure uniform curing.
(All technical values published in this brochure are subject to the test conditions specified. We therefore emphasise that the applications and operating conditions, along with the end
user’s practical experience, will ultimately determine the level of performance achieved by the coating and/or coating system)

Advantages of GLISS-COAT ® compared to lubricating grease and oil products helps repel dust and dirt forms a homogeneous lubricating surface tight anchorage with the substrate ecological advantages, since there is no removal of the medium
permanent protection against corrosion partial coating possible provides permanent lifetime lubrication in many cases minimise noise (e.g. squeaking and grinding noises) dry lubricant
Suitable materials for treatment with GLISS-COAT ® Depending on the processing variant all metals, light metals as well as plastics destined for industrial use can be treated. Among others, the following
substrates have been successfully treated for special applications: paper, non-woven fabrics, plastic foils, metal foils as well as ceramics.

PAINTING SYSTEMS GLISS-COAT ®
Frictional behaviour The service life and the coefficient of friction of a GLISS-COAT ® hard film depends on the type of coating and on the hardness characteristics of the material to which it is applied. Ideal friction characteristics are fulfilled when the coating is applied to two hard metal surfaces which move against each other with a uniformly applied medium pressure and at a comparatively high speed.
Optimum friction behaviour, especially for aluminium, magnesium and titanium alloys, can be achieved by the application of the GLISS-COAT ® process variant 2000 and the use of anodic intermediate layers (HART-COAT ®, anodising, KEPLA-COAT ®, MAGOXID-COAT ®).

PAINTING SYSTEMS WET PAINT/KTL
What is wet paint? Wet paint is a spray paint process during which hydro paint systems or solvent-based paint systems are
applied. The process offers optimum flexibility with regard to paint application.
With wet painting, surfaces are produced that are decoratively appealing regarding structure and colour on almost every base material. A wet paint layer may also have functional properties.
In combination with a primer, for example, it is possible to achieve high corrosion protection. It is also possible to treat very small batches which offers high flexibility.

PAINTING SYSTEMS POWDER COATING
What is powder coating? Powder coating is an electro-static coating process during which electrically charged paint particles are applied, by means of a spray gun, to the surface of a metallic workpiece that is grounded.
The impinging particles generate an opposite electric charge which affects the adhesion of the paint particles to the surface.
Advantages of powder coating Powder coatings with layer thicknesses between 40 µm and 140 µm are available in many different colours. The coatings offer an extremely high corrosion protection, chemical resistance, UV-resistance and stone impact resistance.

PAINTING SYSTEMS CED
What is CED? CED (cathodic electro-deposition) is a process during which the workpiece to be coated is negatively charged and then immersed into a paint bath with positively charged paint particles.
These paint particles are attracted to the workpiece on which they deposit and form a uniform film across the part. Subsequent to the application of the paint layer a heat treatment (baking) is carried out at 180 to 220 °C.
One of the benefits is that every crevice and corner is coated until the film reaches the specified layer thickness. Thus, a uniform coating thickness over all the parts is achieved. CED layers provide good corrosion protection and high impact strength.
In combination with the use of ultrafiltration technology, the highly-automated coating process offers an economically advantageous use of paint materials.

PAINTING SYSTEMS CED
CED – fields of use Cathodic electro-deposition techniques are used in the automotive and mechanical engineering sectors to provide corrosion protection to a wide variety of components, e.g., stamped parts. CED increases the stone impact resistance and, as a consequence, is often used for grids which protect commercial vehicles against falling rocks. The coating process is well suited to complex shaped parts due to the uniform coating thickness produced.
