What are the steps in powder coating?
The powder coating process involves three basic steps: part preparation or the pre-treatment, the powder application, and curing.
- Part preparation processes and equipment.
- Powder application processes.
- Electrostatic fluidized bed coating.
- Electrostatic magnetic brush (EMB) coating.
- Curing.
What is coating and why it is used?
Coating, in the context of corrosion, is the thin layers of a covering substance, deposited or applied on a surface of any object, mainly to improve its critical properties and to create a protective barrier against deterioration of the surface due to its reaction with its environment.
What are the different methods of coating?
Typical Coating Techniques
- Dip Coating. Cost effective process provides uniform high quality coating on different shaped/sized substrates including large surface areas.
- Brushing.
- Roll Coating.
- Spraying.
- Spin Coating.
- Flow Coating.
What is the thickness of powder coating?
The standard film thickness for a standard powder coating for optimum mechanicals is between 60 and 80 microns (~2-3 mils).
What is epoxy powder?
Epoxy powder coating is a thermoset polymer coating that is hard and also offers chemical resistance, flexibility, and high adhesion.
How many types of powder coating are there?
There are two types of powder coating, thermosets and thermoplastics. Thermoplastic powder coating finishes become liquid and very soft when heated. This eliminates chemical bonding. This process makes the powder coating both reversible and reusable.
