CLEVELAND – Coil coating is the method of choice for applying many types of coatings in a wide variety of industries. Now it’s being used to apply coatings that help capture the power of the sun. Coil coating is being used to apply selective absorber coatings to aluminum strip for thermal energy applications at solar power plants. The process provides the precise layers of coatings needed for high-performing solar-absorber coatings.
The coil coating process is ideal for specialty coatings used for solar energy because of the optimal surface prep, coating adhesion and continuous control that are unique to this process.
