Getting started, I would stick with polyester chemistry. It's the most versatile for someone getting started. It is very important to note that polyesters in the U.S. are rather different than polyesters in the EU.
Is it possible to create that liquid look with a metallic pigment in a powder coating? I've heard a lot of grumbling among powder coat companies that it's just not possible.
I came across your blog whilst looking for solutions to an ongoing problem I’ve had. I design and manufacture designer gates cut from 3-mm mild steel. When I get the raw steel back from laser cutting it is still covered with mill scale.
I have a question for you about allowable oven temperature variation. Our ovens were recently calibrated and were 1 degree off from our control unit reading to what was measured inside. Due to our ISO regulations I may possibly need to shut them down until it is exact. I know temperature variations are needed to keep minimal but this sounds ridiculous.
I am new to powder coating, but the plant where I work has been doing it for a few years. The guys do a good job on single color and are starting to experiment with multi colors. Is multicolor powder coating possible? If so, do you have any information that would help us?
I have some brake calipers that I powder coated and I would like to add lettering then then add a clear powder coat and put in the oven and bake it. I would like to know of any material (vinyl, decal or anything) that can withstand 200 ⁰C to be powder coated over.
We notice that the cured powder does not stick readily to edges that have been cut by a laser. What are the causes of this and what can be done to overcome the adhesion issues?
We powder coat steel tubing for broom handles and paint about 1,000,000 tubes per month. We have been experiencing some contamination between color changes. We think this might have to do with our gun hoses. How often should we be replacing the hoses that go from the pump to the gun?
