Paint Booth Performance and Results
Developed by the water treatment and automotive experts at Nalco Water, APEX™ detackification products can rapidly lower system turbidity and total suspended solids. Challenging foaming issues frequently observed in paint detackification systems are quickly minimized or eliminated.
After introducing APEX™ technology, customers are typically able to achieve an average reduction of 20% in the Total Cost of Operation in their paint booth systems. The evaluations of the impact of APEX™ technology upon customer Sustainability Performance Indicators (SPIs) in paint booth operation have shown the following average improvements:
Water
Energy
Air
Waste
During the last decade, the Automotive Industry has increasingly demonstrated a strong commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Many automotive programs and procedures have been put in place to help meet sustainability targets to reduce the consumption of natural resources, and associated emissions and waste. Today the industry must work even harder to meet sustainability targets and financial goals. Cost control and reduction of the total cost of operation remain key factors in managing and operating profitability.
