The allnex high-reactive polyester resins give the powder coating industry the ability to formulate products for both indoor and outdoor applications with reduced curing times and/or lower curing temperatures.
With this powder coating technology, manufacturers can lower operational costs, increase end-product value and provide a mechanism for meaningful differentiation.
These post-addable additives can be effectively utilized as post-addible solutions to alter smooth or glossy stocked powder coatings into matted or textured finishes while circumventing the high research and development, and production costs normally associated with small, quick turnaround orders and reducing manufacturing complexities.
Powder formulators enhance the performance of a coating formulation with the addition of a judicious amount of flow modifier and degassing agent. But be careful, a little goes a long way.
Battelle is developing a biobased resin that delivers high performance in a product that cures at temperatures low enough to be used on wood, medium-density fiberboard (MDF) and many types of plastics.
This article was prepared in an effort to assist in this decision-making process and to help end users understand the newer technology and to know the common differences between the traditional three-layer coating system and the latest polyurethane coating technology.
Dura Industries, reputable color developer and applicator of liquid PVDF and powder coatings, teamed up with Valspar, frontrunner in the international coil and extrusion architectural coatings industry and part of Sherwin-Williams Extrusion Coatings, to create and coat the renowned façade of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. For this specific project, Dura Industries implemented a hand-painted five-coat system for the first time in the company’s history.
Investing in batch powder coating equipment is an exciting step in expanding a production shop's business. By the time all the pieces arrive and are installed - the pretreatment equipment, dry-off oven, spray booth, powder guns, and curing oven - it's tempting to dive in right away. However, before you start using it, make sure you've received training on how to operate and maintain all of your new equipment.
What could be the biggest opportunities, for any business, in the world that we inhabit? At first glance, this might seem a very generalized question… but it is still worth asking!
