How Low-Cure Powder Coatings Are Revolutionizing Temperature-Sensitive Substrates

The coatings industry is witnessing a quiet revolution as low-cure powder coatings redefine what’s possible with heat-sensitive materials. Unlike traditional powder coatings requiring 180-200°C cure temperatures, these advanced formulations achieve full crosslinking at 120-140°C – a breakthrough enabling metal decorators, wood manufacturers, and automotive suppliers to expand into new markets. The Physics Behind the Innovation Low-cure formulations rely on catalytic hybrid systems combining epoxy-carboxy reactions with specialized accelerators. The real game-changer lies in the use of β-hydroxyalkylamide (HAA) curing agentsRead More …
