Low-cure powder coatings reduce oven temperatures while maintaining durability, helping OEMs improve throughput, energy efficiency and regulatory compliance across applications.
Dürr’s latest paint shop project for Volkswagen brings together new electric drying, logistics updates and CO₂-saving strategies designed for high-volume production.
A new one-step PCU anti-graffiti coating featuring a urethane powder, tinted to a specific color, and cured for 20 minutes offers an alternative graffiti-resistant solution.
Energy-cure coatings are expected to produce revolutionary changes in coil-centered industries, such as building materials, appliances, and HVAC. These advancements will raise the bar for more sustainable, energy-efficient, high-performance solutions, including formulations that offer durability for exterior applications and broader gloss ranges.
A new fast-cure, high UV-resistant curing agent that addresses both performance and EHS gaps in the current market enables a rapid return to service and delivers coatings with exceptional aesthetics at ambient and low temperatures, outstanding carbmation and UV resistance, and extended working times.
Curing at temperatures 30 °C lower than traditional powder coatings means, the new coating can help customers cut energy consumption by as much as 20%.
Manufacturing managers and process engineers should evaluate UV curing as a way to reduce floor space, energy costs and environmental emissions while increasing production rates.
