American Catalytic Technologies applications

Applying the infrared principle with catalytic gas fired emitters is simply the most efficient method for drying and curing coated parts. Unlike convective systems, which heat the air, catalytic heaters emit IR energy directly to the substrate which is absorbed rapidly by the coating. There is an immediate temperature rise which initiates the gel stage within the 1st few minutes of exposure. Full cure times are dramatically reduced, generally by 50 to 80%. Your actual benefit can be determined beforehand by testing your parts in advance. There is no charge and we’ll provide a comprehensive report. Its also an excellent opportunity to meet with you and demonstrate the technology firsthand.
