IFS Coatings recently launched Pureflex Fastcure, a fusion bonded epoxy powder coating for rebar that cures more quickly than standard formulations or at lower temperatures. According to the company, IFS Pureflex Fastcure is a flexible, corrosion-resistant, single-coat, thermosetting FBE powder with built-in rapid reactivity, which allows coaters to enjoy increased line speeds or the energy savings from lower oven temperatures.
IFS Coatings reports the new FBE powder will gel in 2-3 seconds and cure in only 12-15 seconds, depending on the temperature of the incoming bar. This rapid cure is achieved while attaining all of the technical excellence of Pureflex powder as well as resistance to cobwebbing, and all the benefits associated with an expanded application window for preheat and gun settings.
