Calvary Industries supplies the pretreatment chemicals, and Pryority is using its Cal Clean 11307 alkaline cleaner and its Advantech P610A for the pretreatment. Chris Berger, Calvary’s vice president and director of product development, says this process is set up for all metals and is entirely phosphate free. It is also approved to military TT-C-490F and Caterpillar 1E4093A, and can be certified to AAMA 2604/2605.
Everett fell in love with the pretreatment system when she saw it.
“The one thing I know is that it doesn’t matter what coating you are using, liquid or powder, it all starts off with a good pretreatment system,” she says. “That was something we took a lot of time to make sure we had designed right and that we had the right chemistries to give us good adhesion. The quality starts and stops right at the pretreatment system.”
