Invest in the environment and save money with a 2K solution

An upgrade from a 1 component (1K) to a 2 component (2K) solution will, with a simple calculation, undeniably result in a price increase of 20-30%. Still, your finance department will end up smiling. This is because the pay-back time on a 2K solution is relatively short. And in fact, the smile applies to both corporate and climate accounting.

On the climate side, you have advantages such as:

• With a 2K solution, you have an easier time both predicting and managing your VOC emissions

• With a vaporizer, your thinner can be distilled and used again and again.

• With a 2K solution, you don't have to rinse as much as in a 1K solution (in fact 80% less)

On the financial side, a 2K solution comes into account because:

• A 2K solution means that you can get the paint in the correct volume and mixing ratio.

• With a 2K solution, only the necessary paint is mixed, which means less waste.

• You get a longer service life of the paint pump

Mouritsen has a range of Graco's multi-component mixing equipment, which makes it possible to increase both efficiency and productivity through better and more precise control.

One of the employees responsible for the sale of equipment for surface treatment at Mouritsen, Steen Rasmussen, who is Senior Sales Manager, explains that 2K solutions can, for example, be applied electrostatically.

Impractically, this means that the paint moves around the subject while you paint - and there is very little waste:

"We sell more and more 2 component solutions to save on VOC emissions. The primary reason is probably still that you get a better quality in the end result, which is right up to C4/C5, which are applications of a high corrosion class. But in addition, there are also more ofour customers who see the environmental benefit due to less consumption of thinner, paint wastage and a longer lifespan of the paint pump and fewer spare parts for the pumps",

he says.

A factual solution The latest project Mouritsen has done with a 2K solution has just been delivered. The project has been underway since 2019 and has been a co-creative process between Mouritsen and the customer.

"This is exactly how we want to work"

says Managing Director of MouritsenClaus Andersen and continues:

"Our deep knowledge of both the individual applications, the overall process and the possibilities to minimize the climate footprint really comes into play through the developing dialogues with the individual customers".
