Scope

Reference definitions for paint-cell terminology used in feasibility reviews, equipment selection, process setup, and production planning.

Best used for

Best used to create shared vocabulary across engineering, purchasing, operations, integrators, and external suppliers.

Use with caution

Definitions do not replace equipment datasheets, coating TDS/SDS documents, or site-specific compliance review.

Evidence basis

Compiled from TD engineering terminology, project scoping language, and equipment-integration workflows.

Electrostatic painting charges paint particles to attract them to grounded workpieces, improving transfer efficiency (typically 70-95%) and wrap-around coverage. Common in automotive and industrial finishing.

Why it matters in paint cells

  • •Significantly higher transfer efficiency than conventional
  • •Better coverage on complex geometries
  • •Reduced material waste and emissions

What to watch for

  • •Grounding requirements for parts and fixtures
  • •Faraday cage effect in recessed areas
  • •Safety requirements for high-voltage equipment
