Protect Your Investment: Paint Booth Protective Film

Paint Booth Protective Film

Retro Paint_SD1000_4

A customer sent us a photo of their booth, which looked like one they ordered recently.   The walls were a beautiful white and the filters had been recently changed. The floor in the booth was also a beautiful grey with little residue of paint or over-spray. I was shocked to hear that this booth was 10 years old, used every day….. and still looked this great!

I had to know what the booth owner was doing to keep his booth so nice. His answer was paint booth protective film, ordered from ToolsUSA.

When protective films are used on the walls, floors and lighting glass in your booth, they protect the surface, while being able to easily be replaced. You can easily get more out of your paint booth, while reducing the booth maintenance and improving the booth brightness.

ToolsUSA is an exclusive distributor of RBL Products, who manufacture protective film for the spray booth’s walls, floors and light boxes. It eliminates the time-consuming task of cleaning of your paint booth floors, walls and glass. Just use the film, and replace every 60-90 days to keep your paint booth looking brand new.

floor filmThe floor film is a clear heavy-duty protective film to keep floors clean. It is easy to apply and comes on a reverse wound roll with the adhesive to the outside that enables easy layout of the film to the floor.

  • Dry, non-skid surface
  • Film resists temperatures up to 200⁰ F which is great for booths with an air make-up unit.
  • Eliminates cleaning the floors with chemicals
  • Resists tears, punctures and disintegration
  • Replace every 60-90 days

 

 

protective wall filmThe wall film comes in a clear, non-yellowing film and applies directly over booth walls and doors.

  • Durable puncture resistant plastic film with UV inhibitor.
  • Self-adhering film leaves no adhesive transfer.
  • Easy to apply. Easy to cut film with SNIPPET KNIFE or razor blade.
  • Remove when desired and apply new film.
  • Film resists heat up to 200°F (93.3°C).
  • Preserves booth lighting without distortion or deflection

 

light filmThe self-adhering light box glass film covers light box glass. The adhesive is designed for glass only, not recommended for booth walls.

  • Eliminates the labored cleaning method of glass cleaner, razor blades and rags.
  • Temperature resistance up to 200°F (93.3°C).
  • Fast, accurate and economical!
  • Preserves booth lighting without distortion or deflection
  • At end point, tear at perforation or if between perforations, cut with razor blade or SNIPPET Knife

Buy Before January 1st to Save Thousands.

It’s December already, can you believe it? Where does a year go? With the year coming to a close, you may hear a lot about “Section 179” and how you’re business can benefit if you are looking to purchase some equipment before 2013.

We get just as confused as the next guy when you start talking “tax rate”, “deductions” and “depreciation”. We thought we would do a little research and try to explain how this could be a HUGE benefit to small businesses.

When we say ‘equipment’, we mean any large purchase you buy to benefit your business. Some examples: a paint booth to help your productivity, a car lift to increase your repair business or a frame machine for the busy winter months. If your business needs it to increase business and it’s an ‘investment’, it is most likely included in this category.

You can even finance it in 2013, but write it off in 2012 and save thousands.

So, section179 is what exactly? It’s an incentive created by the U.S. government to encourage businesses to buy equipment and invest in themselves. Essentially, Section 179 of the IRS tax code allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment purchased (or financed) during the tax year. Wow! The FULL PURCHASE PRICE will be deducted from your gross income. (As long as the total purchase price is less than 139,000.) Continue reading Buy Before January 1st to Save Thousands.

Written by:Tracy Beach
Plant Manager at Standard Tools & Equipment Co.

Going Green in 2010

Today there is an increased awareness of protecting our environment from hazardous emissions and waste.  Everyone is ‘Going Green’ to reduce these environmental pollutants.  All types of companies are expected to address this matter, including firms operating spray booths.  Spray booth operations can reduce waste in one of two manners: a dramatic overhaul of the entire process or incremental improvements.

Dramatic overhauls are expensive because they typically require intensive planning and resources. By focusing on the materials and equipment companies also bypass an opportunity to improve their employees and business processes. Production is almost always impacted during a change of this type and often afterwards.  Even with an overhaul companies should not assume that all wastes will be eliminated.

Incremental improvements can be made in a manner that does not upset the production of a shop.  These improvements can be started immediately and scheduled with available resources, government incentives, and production requirements taken into account.  This is the process recommended by the Tools USA specialists.

Example of an Incremental Plan:

  • Benchmark current operations: material types and volumes used, liquid and solid hazardous waste recorded, gaseous emissions calculated, hazardous operations noted, and level of operator knowledge
  • Identify materials used to eliminate the most hazardous; many paint and solvent manufacturers now offer low-VOC options
  • Evaluate solid and liquid waste by identifying waste source, retraining employees, mixing precise materials for jobs,  and eliminating storage of excess material
  • Understand gaseous wastes and new filter options
  • Evaluate storage and spray guns

These steps require only a small investment and create a good foundation for future conversion to powder coating or waterborne paints and equipment.  A shop that understands and addresses existing issues with incremental improvements will recover investments for major changes more quickly than a shop that makes only a dramatic change.

Please contact Kelly Goudy or the technical staff at Tools USA if you have questions about ‘Going Green’ with your spray booth operation.

Pass-Thru Side-Down Draft Spray Booth

At Tools USA we routinely get requests for spray booths to be used on a conveyor line.  Usually we will offer two opposed open-face booths or one of our designs with cutouts in the side walls.  We have even made a spray booth to run lengthwise in order for the operator to stop/start the line when getting parts in and out of the DTD booth.  Tools USA now offers a new booth style that mimics a larger-scale pass-thru booth using our SDD-1000 ETL and pressurized intake.
