By the way, in metallic coating, the arrangement of aluminum powder at the time of forming a coating film has a great influence on the finish, and uneven coloring occurs due to uneven distribution of the aluminum powder, and the smoothness of the coating film (vividness). Sex) may be impaired. It is known that the arrangement of the aluminum powder depends on the residual amount of thinner that changes with time during coating film formation. Further, the residual amount of thinner in the coating film depends on the temperature and humidity in the coating booth, the temperature of the coating material, or the mixing ratio in the coating material (for example, the ratio of thinner thinner that volatilizes faster and thinner thinner).

Therefore, in order to prevent the coating failure due to the arrangement of the aluminum powder, the interior of the coating booth is maintained at a predetermined temperature and humidity, and the temperature and components of the coating material are adjusted, while the non-volatile content in the coating film is maintained. The components and the residual amount of the thinner are measured and controlled, and conventionally, the non-volatile component in the coating film is measured by the aluminum weight method.

According to the aluminum weight method, the body B for exclusive use in measurement or the aluminum foil attached to an appropriate component is coated, and the weight change of the aluminum foil with the lapse of time after coating is measured.

By the way, in the case where coating is performed one after another on an automated coating line, such as when painting a car body, the quality of the coating state is detected as quickly as possible to determine the coating condition. It is necessary to improve and always maintain the best coating quality.

However, when the non-volatile components and the residual amount of thinner are measured by the aluminum gravimetric method, a series of operations such as sticking, peeling, drying and weighing of the aluminum foil are necessary and finally the non-volatile. Since it takes time to determine the sex component and the residual amount of thinner, it is impossible to measure it with an actual vehicle in production. For this reason, it is the current situation that measurements are performed using the idle time of the coating line, and even though it is an important control item, steady measurement is difficult, so coating film management is sufficiently performed. It is difficult to say that there is a problem, and improvements have been desired to realize sufficient coating film management.

Further, in order to maintain a predetermined temperature and humidity in the coating booth throughout the year, a large amount of equipment including a large-capacity refrigerator and a huge amount of energy are required, which is preferable in terms of energy saving and cost.
