Especially for components with reflective, transparent, or dark surfaces, the use of scanning sprays is indispensable for obtaining digitizable surfaces. <br><br>What many users underestimate: These sprays usually contain solvents that can cause serious damage to certain materials. Plastics such as PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), PS (polystyrene), or 1K coatings are particularly affected when alcohol-based sprays are used. Incorrect use can result in milky clouding, cracking, or coating detachment\u2014faults that can destroy a component or render it worthless.  <br><br>This issue is by no means limited to individual product lines.

Many plastics, especially PMMA or PS, also have polar molecular structures. The polar molecular structures can interact with the polar solvents. These ensure that the individual polymer chains, which are tightly \u201centangled\u201d with each other, are pushed apart, which can lead to swelling, stress cracks, or structural changes.    <\/p><p>The surface tension of the solvents also plays a role: substances with low surface tension penetrate fine pores or microstructures more easily. This promotes penetration into paints or coatings and can lead to detachment or softening. <\/p><p>In the case of paintwork, solvents act as plasticizers that can weaken the bond between the paint and the substrate. Single-component paints are particularly sensitive, as they do not have the same chemical resistance to organic compounds as chemically cross-linked paints. <\/p><p>2K paints, ferrous materials, and non-ferrous metals can generally be wetted without any problems using all scanning sprays.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-59b4a01 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"59b4a01\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c0b2baa\" data-id=\"c0b2baa\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e613b2f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e613b2f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Common errors and misunderstandings<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7cce3eb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7cce3eb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A common misconception is the assumption that a spray that sublimates without leaving any residue is automatically compatible with the material.

many users underestimate: These sprays usually contain solvents that can cause serious damage to certain materials. Plastics such as PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), PS (polystyrene) or 1K paints are particularly affected by the use of alcohol-based sprays. If used incorrectly, there is a risk of milky clouding, cracking or the detachment of coatings &#8211; defects that can destroy a component or render it worthless.<br \/>\nThe issue is by no means limited to individual product lines. Rather, it is a technical challenge that affects all solvent-based scanning sprays, regardless of the manufacturer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":20248,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[201],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20252","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mr-learn-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
