Electrostatic Painting

Office Furniture Outlet offers electrostatic painting at our warehouse or on site.  Electrostatic Painting is one of the ways that Office Furniture Outlet Recycles used office furniture back into the market place.  Office Furniture Outlet often will take a used metal file cabinet and paint it using the electrostatic process to make it look “like new” again. We can also take several mismatched file cabinets and paint them all to match an existing interior office design. This saves the cabinet from the dump and allows the cabinet to fit in perfectly with its new surroundings.

Below is a great article that describes the electrostatic painting process.


ELECTROSTATIC PAINTING

Electrostatic painting employs the basic principle of electrostatic opposites attract to achieve durable and strong finish onmetals and other materials. The most notable advantage of electrostatic painting over conventional liquid paints is that it leaves no runs, drips, bubbles or sags. The operating principle of this painting method involves dry powder, made of resins and pigments, being pneumatically supplied from a reservoir directed to a spray gun. The surface to be painted isgrounded while the paint powder is charged with a high voltage at low amperage at exiting the spraying gun. On reaching the surface to be painted the powder particles are attracted to the grounded surface and firmly held there. The material is then taken into a curing oven where the powder is melted and fused to give a smooth coat.Electrostatic painting machines are classified into three categories namely; airless type; air atomized types and rotating discs and bells type. The discs typeemploys high speed discs to atomize the coating resulting in a more fine coating and the paint particles are well directed to the grounded surface. This type is the most suitable for applying paints that are difficult to disperse and paints with high solids. Electrostatic painting is disadvantaged by the faraday cage effect. This effect involves the tendency of the charged particles to get deposited around cavities entrances.

Electrostatic Painting of Railings

HOW IT WORKS…The principle of electrostatics is analogous to magnetism. An electrically charged object produces an electrostatic field and two objects with opposite charges will attract each other. An object with more electrons than the surrounding is taken to be negatively charged while the one with fewer electrons than its surrounding is positively charged. This forms the scientific basis on which electrostatic painting operates.An atomizing electrode is located at the spraying tip. It is here the paint particles receive extra electrons and become negatively charged. During spraying the charges are dissipated through the ground and return to the power supply completing the electric circuit. The path of the paint particles is influenced by the electrostatic field. Over spray is drastically reduced since the charged paint particles are directly directed to the grounded surface of the item being painted. A phenomenon known as wrap allows the sprayed particles to be deposited to the back of the item.PAINTINGAfter setting up is done, the object is grounded and the paint formulation is positively charged, the painting starts. The positively charged powder paint formulation is sprayed on the grounded item. The item being oppositely charged draws the paint towards it surface and the attraction if so strong that the paint is pulled across to coat the whole surface. The process is safe and no protection gear is required. However, some unpleasant odors may be produced during painting process and it is thus recommended that it should be carried out on the outdoors.This method of painting uses no solvent and makes it environmentally friendly. Electrostatic painting is durable and there is a range of formulations such as urethane, polyester, epoxy or a hybrid of two of these. The choice of the best formulation is dictated by the intended use of the item to be painted. Epoxy formulation is the best choice for chemical and corrosion protection and for resistance to solvents. Polyester and urethane are chosen where a superior exterior durability is called for.Polarizable solvents are used to formulate all paints, primers and coatings sprayed by electrostatic painting. Materials such as plastic, ceramics, glass and rubber cannot be painted electrostatically since it is not possible to ground them electrically. There is a whole spectrum of color glosses, antiques and metallic effects available for electrostatic painting. The mixing of the powder paint formulation and the catalyst compounds should be carried out by the manufacturer. Computerized matching techniques allow the manufacturer to come up with a specific mix depending on your taste. This may take time and may cost your extra.BENEFITS OF ELECTROSTATIC PAINTINGThere is a high transfer efficiency achieved by electrostatic painting. This high transfer efficiency reduces the volume of paint used. Further benefits of electrostatic painting include reduced emissions of volatile organic compounds used as solvents in conventional paints, reduced hazardous air pollutants emissions, reduced waste generation and reduced exposure during application. Less maintenance is called for the pain reservoir for pollution control. electrostatic painting requires high capital cost and regular maintenance of the spraying equipment is needed.

Married to your desk? 5 tips for a better relationship

JR Raphael (Computerworld (US))03 February, 2012 02:39Comments

Here’s a sobering statistic: With a 40- to 45-hour work week, many Americans spend about 25% of the year on the job. For those of us who stare at computer screens all day, that amounts to more than 2,000 hours with our keisters glued to chairs. In less technical terms, we’re practically married to our desks.

For as many hours as we whittle away at our workstations, though, most of us put surprisingly little thought into optimizing our offices. Quick: When’s the last time you actually stopped to think about how efficient your physical workspace is? If you’re anything like me, the answer is probably “never.”

Workstation optimization can make a significant difference in your ability to get things done. Believe me: I’ve slowly but surely been making changes to my own humble office, and with each adjustment, I’ve noticed more productivity and less time wasted (unintentionally, at least — my midday YouTube-browsing habit shows no signs of subsiding).

[ Get advice from those who are making decisions and discover innovative products or strategies in CIO's Leadership and Innovation newsletter ]

The best part: It doesn’t take much to do a workstation tune-up. Here are five simple tips to get you started.

1. Take a comfortable seat — then get out of it.

The hot trend du jour is ditching your chair and turning your workstation into a standing-room-only experience. But while standing all day might burn more calories, it’s not going to help you get more done, according to Dr. Alan Hedge, director of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Laboratory at Cornell University.

Sitting is more conducive to productivity, Hedge says — it uses 20% less energy and allows you to type and mouse more effectively — but that doesn’t mean you should park your busy buns all day. Just ask the folks from NASA……Read more.

Tips On Putting Together A Home Office

Interesting article on putting together a functioning home office.  Office Furniture Outlet sales people are experienced in helping clients fit an office into a particular space.  If you are in need of a home office and don’t know where to start, give us a call – (757) 855-2800.


Home is where the office is…

Feb 10, 2012

Ventilation and natural light are the two most important aspects when it comes to creating an ideal work environment. The office space should be demarcated from the home environment, writes Bindu Gopal Rao.

With advances in technology, whether wireless Internet or state-of-the-art communication systems, accessibility and affordability have meant that working from home is a reality. A home office is considered an important part of a home.

So, how does one go about creating one? Shweta Gupta, Partner, Soulscape Furniture & More advises, “First you need to write down what you will be doing from your home office. Your office space at home could be used for a conference with your team or it could serve as your private corner for very serious work.

Mostly the home office needs a computer linked to the web, printer, scanner and telephone. Some more elaborate ones also need tablets, speakers, mic, camera and gaming consoles. In all, this could mean a lot of cables which must be concealed.” The interiors should neither be overly professional and understated nor too loud and informal. “

The office space should be effectively distinct from the home environment. Personal preferences of colour, choice of design and layout, whether contemporary, modern or traditional should be kept in mind. Don’t use dark colours; use shades of white, pastel shades of blues and green which will lighten your mood,” says Harshawardhan Jayant Honmode, Division Manager for Architectural Markets, 3M India.

It is preferable to have your home office in a designated space where you can work in isolation, away from distractions. Ventilation and natural lighting are the two most important aspects for creating an ideal work environment. “Make sure that the room has ample doors and windows to let in enough fresh air and sunlight.

A bright and airy room makes for an ideal workspace. In case this is not available, then consider investing in full-spectrum lights and using a couple of air-purifying plants. Also consider the use of an AC to maintain air quality and temperature where natural ventilation is not possible. Use carpeting and create barriers to block noise. If you can afford it, consider wiring the walls with the new hybrid telephone cable that mixes traditional copper lines, coaxial cable and fibre-optic technology,” says Kochutommen Mathew, Kochuthommen Associates.

Furniture and furnishings

It goes without saying that the furniture in the home office needs to be both comfortable and ergonomic. The area also needs some storage to keep your laptop/system, books, CDs and stationery. “The chair used should be ergonomic with height adjustment, tilt and adjustable arms,” says Gupta. Modular fittings work well in this space. “Instead of a real desk, you can opt for one or two dining tables with a comfortable chair. You should have the space to work, so go for the biggest option possible,” says Christian Beettjer, Head Design, OMA Living.“

A home office desk unit in durable materials like wood, steel or glass and which integrates compartments for all PC parts and also storage for essential items will help transform your home office into a professional environment. “

While choosing a desk, it is better to avoid solid/chunky ones as this makes the room look smaller. A built-in shelving unit is perfect for storing books and objects in a small space. If the space needs to be flexible then consider furniture that can be folded and made compact or have wheels so that they can be moved around easily,” says Mathew. Sachin Sehgal, Director, Studio a+i advises, “To maintain economies-of- scale one can always re-upholster the existing furniture befitting the design and decor. However if someone is not adept at it they can always go for multipurpose customised home-office furniture available in the market or search online.” via

Prevent Work-related Back Pain with Good Posture and an Ergonomic Office Chair

 

by KLAUS on JANUARY 26, 2012

It is very important to consider some factors that are vital when setting up office furniture, such as the careful planning and selection of which office equipment must be acquired in order to promote not only a high productivity rate from the employees, but also to promote an atmosphere of comfort while they are working.

Back pain is perhaps one of the most commonly known work-related injuries.  It is normally often caused by regular work activities such as sitting in an office chair.  People who tend to sit most of the day, especially those who use a computer at work while sitting in an office chair, are most susceptible to back pain.

Office ergonomics can help reduce the risk of repetitive injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome as well as the risks caused by prolonged sitting in an office chair such as leg pain, neck strain and lower back pain.

There are two simple ways on how to avoid work-related back pain – good posture and an ergonomic office chair.  Good posture is very important especially when you tend to sit for hours when working.  However, even if you know how to execute good posture while sitting, it won’t help much if your office chair is not comfortable or ergonomic.  To find that perfect ergonomic chair, you have to know the many characteristics of the ergonomic chair and how it can support your needs.

Below are some tips on how to choose an ergonomic office chair:

1. Get to know the different features of an ergonomic chair.

Height – the height of an ergonomic chair must be adjustable so that you can sit comfortably with your feet flat on the floor, with knees angled at about 90 degrees and parallel to your hips.

Backrest – the backrest of an ergonomic chair must support the natural curve of your spine which in turn provides lower back support.  The height must be ample enough to support your neck and shoulder region.  There are some ergonomic chairs that have a recline function in their back rest to let you recline while sitting.

Armrest – the armrests support your arms so that your shoulders can rest at a comfortable position while you are working.  Armrests must be adjustable in height and position for the convenience of different users and activities.

Seat – the seat of an ergonomic chair must provide comfortable support to the hips and buttocks.  The seat depth must measure from your back to 2 to 4 inches from the back of your knees.

2.  Think about what you will do most while sitting in your ergonomic chair.  Some people spend most of their work hours talking on the phone, while there are those who type on their computers the whole day.  Create a list of your needs and then compare the characteristics of ergonomic chairs to help you select the right ergonomic office chair for you.

3.  Go to stores that sell ergonomic chairs and try them out.  When you have selected the characteristics and functions of the ergonomic chair that you would like to have, go visit a store with ergonomic chairs and try them out so that you can assess support, positioning and comfort.

4.  Choose the color, materials and style of your ergonomic chair.  Many ergonomic chairs nowadays come in different materials and styles, such as fabric, leather or mesh back chairs.  Some models even come in different colors to suit your mood or the theme of your office room.

5.  Compare prices of ergonomic chairs.  Last but not least, browse at online stores, office furniture stores and wholesale stores to compare prices of their ergonomic chairs with the features you are searching for.  Do not forget to consider the cost of shipping should you decide to order an ergonomic chair online.

No matter what kind of ergonomic office chair you use, it is vital that short breaks must be taken throughout the day in order to improve circulation in your body.  Getting up from your chair every hour or two will definitely promote stronger posture, relieve strain on your eyes and absolutely reduce work fatigue.

How to Save Money on Office Furniture – She Writes

The article below discusses the sound reasoning behind buying used office furniture.  It points out that when buying used office furniture you will still get good sturdy office furniture however, for a cheaper price. Give Office Furniture Outlet a call so we can help you furnish your office with quality used office furniture – (757) 855-2800.

There is a difference between saving money and being cheap. It makes sense that something that is twenty years old and wobbly would be less expensive than something new. When it comes to buying office furniture, it is extremely important to buy something of quality. What most company owners do not realize is that new furniture is not the only way to find sturdy, quality furniture. In fact, there are many different ways a company owner can find the furniture that is right for his/her office that isn’t brand new.

Consider the three different places you can buy used furniture for your company:

1. Furniture Dealers – Buying used furniture from a dealer offers the most choices. Although this is probably the most expensive used furniture option, it will still be around 25% less than buying new. Furniture dealers usually have a showroom full of furniture and employees ready to help you make your choice. You may have to check out a few furniture dealers if you’re looking for office furniture, but it should save you money in the end.

2. Furniture Brokers – Buying from a furniture broker is extremely cost effective; however you will probably not get a nice showroom or the help you would from a dealer. A broker’s job is strictly buying and selling furniture, so sometimes you may be able to get new furniture for a lower price. Although you will probably not be able to see the furniture in person before buying, brokers usually display all the furniture online or are willing to send pictures.

3. Auction – Not too many company owners consider an auction when it comes to buying office furniture, but if there ever is an auction in the community it’s worth a shot. It is rare that you would find furniture for an entire company office at an auction, but if you just need one or two pieces this may be the right option for you.Used furniture is best for a smaller company because it doesn’t always come in large shipments or amounts. It may be worth it to buy new furniture if you’re planning on staying in an office for more than three years, but it’s always a good idea to check out all of the used furniture options available.

In the Era of Big Boxes, a Day for the Little Guy – ABC News

As a locally owned retailer we had to share this story about choosing to buy local — Saving CHAGRIN HARDWARE!
____________________________

Office Furniture Outlet is a Locally Owned Retailer of New and Used Discounted Office Furniture.

By AMY SANCETTA Associated Press

CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio January 25, 2012 (AP)

It began quietly, as an email to 40 friends.

But when a steady stream of customers began coming through the door before the family-owned Chagrin Hardware had even opened for the day on Saturday, it was clear that it had turned into much more than that.

The idea started with Jim Black, a resident of Chagrin Falls, a close-knit village in Cleveland’s eastern suburbs that is part artist colony and part bedroom community. Black posted the email to a group of his friends. “Let’s show our support for one of our local businesses,” he wrote. “I challenge everyone to spend AT LEAST $20 at the hardware on the 21st.”

Although his email referred to the idea of a “Cash Mob” or the notion to “Occupy CF Hardware,” he really had no political agenda. And it wasn’t meant as a protest against the big-box stores that have created an ever-tightening circle around the community.

It was just a way to thank Chagrin Hardware’s owners for a beloved shop that has been a fixture in the village since 1857.

“These are good people who needed our support,” Black said. “It’s just that simple.”

The store, overlooking meandering Riverside Park and the Chagrin River in the middle of town, has been run by the Shutts family for the last 72 years. It passed from uncle to father to older brothers Rob and Kenny and the three youngest, Steve, Susie and Jack, who run the store today.

Black’s note was forwarded and forwarded and forwarded again. Calls started coming in from folks out of state who wanted to make a purchase over the phone.

And when the day came, so did the shoppers — one by one, with dogs on leashes and children in tow, hour after hour until the hardware was teeming with customers.

“This is small-town America,” said resident Martine Scheuermann, a bag of pet-safe ice melt in her arms and her Springer Spaniels tapping their toes on the worn wooden floor at her feet. “This is a special family business in a town where everybody knows you.”

The store has seen its share of tough times. Road construction on Main Street at the store’s front door some years back crippled business for a time. More recently, the weakened economy and the big boxes have stolen away customers.

On this day, though, those storylines were forgotten.

By 10 a.m. the place was jammed. By 1:30 p.m., the credit card machine was overloaded and had to be reset. “This is so cool,” said Steve Shutts, a mix of joy, wonder and happy exhaustion spread across his face. “I’ve seen people today I haven’t seen in years.”

The line at the checkout stretched in two directions as people with snow shovels and light bulbs and fireplace grates and vintage movie posters and horse shoe caulk — yes, horse shoe caulk — waited to pay.

Chad Schron, 38, came with his 8-year-old son Robert. “We didn’t have anything we had to get, but we found things we had to get,” he said. As he spoke, Robert clutched an Ohio State desk lamp and two flying monkey toys to his chest.

“When I was a kid, my Mom would send me down here with a note to let me buy BB’s,” Schron recalled. “Lots of kids did that back then. The notes still are in a drawer over there,” he said as he pointed past the register to a wall of wooden drawers containing everything from old springs to screws. In the drawer still labeled “BBs” were stacks of crumpled notes dating to the ’50s, from mothers just like Schron’s

When the final customer had finally left well after closing time with her fuzzy dice and floodlights, Schwind and Steve Shutts tallied the day’s receipts. Shutts shook his head at the wild and unexpected ride.

He wouldn’t say how much the store made that day, but was clearly pleased with the outcome.

“Thanks to Jimmy Black,” he said. “Thanks to everyone. Thanks to Chagrin Falls.

“What a place to live.”

EthoSource Makes Upcycled Office Furniture Look Good to Womenkind.

Womenkind is a New York marketing firm that specializes in marketing to women. Their discovery process focuses on understanding exactly what their clients’ targeted demographic wants and will respond to. EthoSource takes a similar approach, getting to know their customers’ preferences and work environment in order to make certain that both their needs and wants are met. “We do brand strategy,” explained Kristi Faulkner, President of Womenkind, “and that means really understanding our clients’ visions and goals and helping them get clarity if they haven’t yet. I think that’s exactly what EthoSource did.”

EthoSource visited Womenkind’s new space before it had even been built, working with Womenkind to identify exactly the right fabrics and fixtures. “They gave us ideas on everything,” said Faulkner. “They showed us how to make the space functional.”
