Pre-Treatment
Pre-Treatment
Unitech Machinery provides advanced pre-treatment solutions designed for effective surface preparation across a wide range of materials and industrial applications.
Appropriate pre-treatment is essential for ensuring optimal adhesion, corrosion resistance, and a high-quality finish in subsequent coating or painting processes.
Our pre-treatment systems utilise proven technologies, including cleaning, degreasing, rinsing, and conversion coating stages, to prepare surfaces for superior coating adhesion.
Available in spray, immersion, or combined configurations, these systems are tailored to meet your specific production needs.
Built with energy efficiency and durability in mind, Unitech pre-treatment solutions enhance productivity, reduce waste, and ensure consistent results for demanding industrial environments.
Comprehensive Surface Preparation for Superior Coating Results
Unitech Machinery’s pre-treatment solutions are engineered to deliver thorough and efficient surface preparation for a variety of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites.
Our systems integrate advanced cleaning, rinsing, and conversion coating technologies to remove contaminants, improve adhesion, and enhance corrosion resistance.
