Consumer products are painted for many different reasons. A red plastic shell can influence the purchase of a phone or a computer. A powder coated washer and dryer withstands scratches and nicks. Clear coat on the exterior of a product can make it seem shiny and new.

Demand for painted plastic products in the automotive, cellular, and consumer products industries is rising. Spraying paint creates paint overspray, a waste material that must be effectively neutralized, or "detackified", and collected for disposal. Our detack program provides the chemistry to remove oversprayed paint solids from your paint cabins and provide a clean atmosphere for your painting operations.

Our technical staff can help start your chemical program, provide operational and safety training to your personnel, and give on-going support for your detack program. KML uses patented detackification technology to treat systems in which either solvent based or waterborne paints are sprayed. Using this technology, we are responsible for the treatment of over twenty automotive paint systems in the United States and Mexico.

The objective of the KML paint detackification program is the continuous improvement of the finish application process. Successful implementation of our treatment program consists of detackifying and separating particulate paint from the water, floating the detackified sludge, and removing the sludge from the system.

KML has been promoting our detack process as a way to increase efficiency, lower operating costs, and increase "green" or environmental activities. KML has designed fully functional processing areas for several companies. Their implementation has dramatically improved the overall paint process for these facilities.
