At De Varo Packaging, we specialize in enhancing the visual appeal and functionality of glass bottles through a sophisticated spray coating process. This technique applies a thin, even coat of water-based paint onto the surface of glass bottles, which is then cured to create both an attractive and protective finish. This process ensures that your glass bottles stand out on the shelves while also adding durability and safeguarding the product inside.
What Is the Spray Coating Process?
Spray coating is a highly effective method for adding an aesthetic finish to glass bottles, making them more appealing to consumers. The process begins with the application of a water-based paint layer on the surface of the glass bottle using an air gun. After the coating is applied, the bottles go through a sequence of processes such as leveling, preheating, drying, and curing. The result is a protective, smooth, and attractive finish that enhances the bottle's overall appeal.
This process allows for a range of finishes including high gloss, matte, pearlescent, transparent, and gradient effects, making it an excellent choice for products that need to stand out in competitive markets.
Spray Coating Process Flow:
Loading bottles – Begin by placing the bottles onto the conveyor system.
Cleaning bottles – The bottles undergo a cleaning process to ensure there is no debris or grease.
Flame treatment – A flame is used to remove any residual contaminants.
Static dust removal – Electrostatic dust removal ensures the bottles are free from particles.
Spraying – The paint is applied to the bottles using a spray gun.
Preheating – Bottles are preheated to ensure proper adhesion.
Curing – The bottles pass through an oven to fully cure the coating.
Cooling – The bottles are cooled down after curing.
Unloading – Once the process is complete, the bottles are unloaded for packaging.
Packaging – The bottles are packed for shipment.
Common Production Challenges and Their Solutions
While the spray coating process is effective, there are some challenges that can arise during production. Below are common issues and how to solve them:
1. Impurities (Particles, Fibers, and Dust):Impurities such as fibers, particles, or paper scraps can affect the smoothness and gloss of the paint. These impurities typically originate from the bottles themselves, human contact, or the environment.
Solution:
Perform acid cleaning on bottles.
Wipe the bottles with alcohol-soaked cloths, followed by a dry cloth.
Ensure proper functioning of electrostatic dust removal and adjust the correct angle.
Maintain temperature at 22±3°C and humidity at 65±5%.
Regularly clean the workspace and reduce movement around the spray area.

2. Pitting (Fish Eyes or White Spots):Pitting occurs when round depressions form on the paint surface due to contamination (grease, wax, sweat).
Solution:
Acid clean and alcohol wipe the bottles thoroughly.
Prevent direct contact with the painted surface using gloved hands and avoid contaminants like oils and water.

3. Bubbling or Pinholes (Chicken Pox Effect):This defect appears as small bubbles or holes in the coating, often caused by excessive moisture, fast-drying of the paint, or uneven temperature.
Solution:
Ensure thorough drying of the base coat before applying additional layers.
Avoid applying thick layers of paint; instead, use multiple light coats.
Control the temperature and humidity of the spray booth, and gradually heat the bottles.
