Application to purchase fields
Line efficiency is a purchase question, not a performance claim from this desk. Capture transfer efficiency method, film-build window, oven schedule and waste handling so quotations stay comparable.
Rows are buyer contexts. Columns are fields that still need a supplier answer. Empty cells stay empty until the buyer or factory fills them.
| Context | Resin system | Solids / viscosity | Coverage and cure | Open documents |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Body shop e-coat | Buyer names chemistry | Solids and bath viscosity method | Film-build target and bake window | SDS, TDS, CoA ions if requested |
| Primer surfacer | Resin family plus filler note | Solids, grind and viscosity cup | Sanding interval and oven time | TDS method and package size |
| Basecoat color | Resin and effect pigment family | Solids, metallic orientation notes | Coverage per color and flash time | Color standard owner and CoA color |
| Clearcoat durability | Resin and additive package | Solids, viscosity, pot life if 2K | Gloss method and bake | SDS isocyanate notes if present |
Waterborne systems often reduce flash-point burden and reported VOC, but they can change booth humidity control and flash time. Solvent-borne systems may fit an existing oven, yet they move UN number, storage and waste cost. Neither route is declared better here. The RFQ should name the process the plant can actually run.
Coverage slogans without a substrate, film-build and method do not belong in a price cell. If two factories use different coverage math, we keep both numbers and the methods instead of averaging them.
Typical limits we write on the brief: efficiency numbers are method-dependent; moisture or temperature outside the TDS window can void a comparison; hazardous-material handling follows the SDS, not this matrix.
If a supplier mentions automotive coating efficiency, the reply should cite the test method, panel type, atomizer, and whether the number is first-pass transfer or material utilization. Without those, the claim stays in the open column.
Robot programs, booth air balance and waste permits are site conditions. We do not convert a TDS sentence into a plant guarantee.
