  • What is electrostatic painting?

    Electrostatic painting is a specialized spray process used to apply paint coatings to metal surfaces with minimal overspray. In this method, atomized paint particles are positively charged and attracted to grounded metal objects. The process offers several advantages, including 95% greater transfer efficiency, reduced overspray, and the ability to achieve a factory-equivalent finish on-site. We can apply various low-VOC paint coatings electrostatically, including two-component epoxies, polyurethanes, and fluoro-polymers. These coatings chemically cure, providing a durable finish without the need for oven curing.
  • Is electrostatic painting harmful to the environment?

    EPR is committed to offering environmentally friendly or green products and services. Since our founding in 1999, we've helped prevent over 100,000 semi-trailers' worth of office furniture from ending up in landfills by refurbishing used furniture for new and used office furniture dealers nationwide. Our electrostatic painting services and materials have also provided environmental benefits to many other industries.
  • Is EPR a powder coater, and what is the difference between electrostatic painting and powder coating?

    EPR specializes in electrostatic painting using Ransburg No. 2 equipment, which is the most efficient method for applying paint coatings to metal and other conductive substrates with minimal overspray. In this process, atomized paint particles are positively charged and drawn to grounded metal objects, with atomization occurring due to centrifugal force and electrostatic charge rather than air introduction at the tip. While we primarily use this method, EPR also employs other electrostatic and non-electrostatic spray processes when project requirements demand, ensuring we provide the best value finish for our clients.
  • Does EPR buy or sell office furniture?

    While EPR doesn't directly buy or sell office furniture, we provide wholesale refurbishing services to used office furniture dealers. We work with a network of office furniture brokers and dealers nationwide to locate and refurbish furniture at the nearest location to the dealer. This service is offered exclusively to office furniture dealers. For businesses looking to purchase or dispose of office furniture, EPR can recommend used office furniture brokers and dealers to assist with these transactions.
