Company Overview

SPL Coatings Technology has a unique and proprietary coating technology for restoring used telecommunication and office equipment products to a like-new appearance. SPL has licensed its technology around the world. Services are provided by those facilities to telecoms, office equipment dealers and original equipment manufacturers.

SPL process is unique. Its Re-Coat Material chemically bonds with the surface substrate, ensuring no chipping or peeling. SPL manufactures its own Re-Coat Material, thereby guaranteeing an accurate colour match every time. Many companies are purchasing used equipment as a cost saving device. Companies are now able to provide a product that looks new at the price of a used product by re-coating the external parts of the product.

Products

• Abs Emulsion
• Abs Resin Compounds
• Abs Resin Nes
• Coatings For Use On New Or Used Plastics

  Our specialty coatings are designed for use on most thermoplastics used in the telecommunications, office equipment and computer fields. Our coatings do not affect the recylability of the coated product.

  The products are used to hide mould marks, blemishes and to provide colour options on new products and to return the external surfaces of used products to their original appearance.

  CHARACTERISTICS OF SPL'S RE-COAT MATERIAL

  ADHESION

  SPL Re-Coat Material (RCM) when applied to Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) or a compatible polymeric surface will adhere through a solvent welding adhesion process. The substrate polymer solvates with the coating to produce a homogeneous blend that changes in composition between the top surface and the substrate. Once dry, the top surface of the plastic is entirely new. Below this surface the material composition gradually changes to the original substrate. This gradation is less than 0.10 millimetre deep.

  By virtue of this adhesion process, no chipping or peeling is possible between the substrate and the coating.

  Adhesion between SPL's RCM and metal or thermoset surfaces is achieved through the use of a primer coat to ensure adequate bonding occurs.

  HARDNESS

  The main vehicle resin used in SPL's RCM is ABS. Thus, the chemical and physical properties of the coating are those of ABS resin. The surface hardness of the coated ABS is, after appropriate drying time has passed, identical to that of the original surface.

  COLOUR MATCH

  SPL's RCM is formulated using an unique method of mixing base tint colours. The method is very consistent and tint colours have an indefinite shelf life. Acceptable colour match tolerances are less than visually perceptibility differences.

  COLOURANTS

  Colourants used in SPL's RCM are selected from organic pigments. Heavy metal pigments are not used and are only considered when specified by the customer.

  RE-COATING AND SUBSTRATE DIMENSIONAL CHANGES

  SPL's RCM are no more than 0.025 millimetre to 0.050 millimetres thick. This thin coating allows for repeated application of the RCM with very limited changes in item dimensions. Each application is unique as the thickness of the coating will depend on substrate condition and the colour hiding required. As coating thickness is generally very small, substrate thickness are not altered significantly.

  SOLVENTS

  The solvents use in SPL's RCM were selected carefully for their performance regarding minimum substrate damage, residence time, solvation and coating surface quality and recyclability. Workplace safety and environmental acceptability were of paramount importance in the selection of these solvents.

• Specialty Paints/Coatings

  We manufacture paints to meet our customers specific requirements, be they related to office products (our priority), PVC or any other products, although our specialty is primarily related to the coating of thermoplastics, both new and used. Our coatings do not affect the recyclability of the coated product.

• Washing And Cleaning Prep, Industrial Nes
• Waterborne Coatings - Rcm-wb

  An addition to our line of coatings, RCM-WB is a low VOC coating for use on a range of plastic substrates, including ABS, PC, PS, etc. The material is substrate compatible and does not affect the recyclability of the coated product. Environmentally friendly.

  The product available in any colour can be used by injection moulders to offer colour choices to their customers while satisfying local environmental requirements.
