Verona, Italy -- A network of key oil and gas industry steel valves have been coated using Graco’s multi-component proportioning machine, the XP70.
Ri-Me Sabbiatura & Verniciatura was able to save up to 40% on the time it took to complete the contract compared to Graco’s previous proportioner models, according to a Graco press release.
The press release also claims that Sabbiatura & Verniciatura were able to use 25% less premixed coating and 50% less solvent.
Graco said the fast-curing material chosen for the contract, 3M Scotchkote Urethane Coating 352 HT, also eliminated the need for a primer.
