These are just a few examples and it’s not only the use of advanced, eco-friendly coating systems themselves that can help you to run a greener business. Better testing and analysis of your current practices can often improve your ecological credentials, as Nico explained:
“We have a customer in the business of coating aluminum profiles. The company was struggling to keep up with the workload and was running 20 hour shifts, seven days a week! They contacted us about a problem with the machinery they use to certify the energy used in curing their coatings.”
On investigation, Nico explained that the TQC Sheen CurveX system identified the client was wasting two thirds of their energy use on curing their profiles! They had no idea that their process had been overly excessive.
He added: “By slashing the cure index they still got the same results - perfectly hardened coatings and protected profiles. This cut the process down from hours to minutes, massively reducing workload pressures; instead of working 20 hours a day, the same results could be achieved in eight hours, halving labor costs. Staff members enjoyed their first weekend off in months and the CEO was absolutely delighted!”
