Chemical-resistant paint finish for enclosures used in food, beverage and pharmaceutical areas

15 November 2006 Enclosures, Racks, Cabinets & Panel Products

Hoffman is offering its new PowderPlus ­Finish, a stainless steel-impregnated paint, through its Modification Services. This ­addition helps to address the aesthetic, ­sanitary and functional demands of food, beverage and pharmaceutical packaging ­operations.

According to Hoffman, the PowderPlus Finish does not absorb chemicals and provides a reasonably priced paint solution for original equipment manufacturers and specifying engineers seeking a stainless steel appearance throughout plant operations, without the stainless steel price. PowderPlus Finish is FDA-approved for incidental food contact in primary and secondary packaging areas where stainless steel enclosures are not required.

Having PowderPlus applied through Hoffman's Modification Services saves manufacturers the time and expense of painting enclosures themselves or outsourcing, says the company. It is also applied after enclosure holes and cutouts are made, eliminating raw metal edges and providing greater corrosion resistance against moisture in washdown and/or wipedown environments.

Specially formulated for uniform and consistent application, PowderPlus-coated enclosures can be installed in existing applications next to enclosures with other stainless steel-impregnated coatings without having to be repainted.

With Hoffman Modification Services, many standard enclosures can be modified to suit specific requirements. Customers may select from more than 100 standard paint finishes, change dimensions and easily add holes, cutouts, window kits, louvres and thermal management systems.
