Characteristics of the electrostatic spraying
Generally speaking, where does not occur at 200 ℃ deformation, enables the charged powder particles are adsorbed on the surface to be painted, the surface coating can be by electrostatic powder spraying. Therefore, electrostatic powder coating spraying technology can be widely used instruments, household appliances, mechanical and electrical equipment, automobile and shipbuilding, light industry equipment, furniture, machinery and building materials, and other metal parts of the surface protection and decorative painting. View from currently used in spray technology, electrostatic powderRead More …
Classification of electrostatic spraying nozzle
Electrostatic spraying can be divided into the way the air or hydraulic atomizing electrostatic spraying, centrifugal electrostatic spraying, etc.; direct nozzle electrostatic spraying, electrostatic spray of Y-type nozzle target nozzle electrostatic spraying can be divided according to the different characteristics of the nozzle; in accordance with the paint can be divided into the different nature of the solid powder electrostatic spraying and electrostatic spraying of liquid atomization. Widely used in the coating of the plate surface of the electrostatic powderRead More …
Powder coated wood is Green Friendly and Healthy Lifestyle
The powder coating wood process is environmentally responsible since the powder coating wood process has no VOC’s or dangerous chemicals, as a matter of fact there are no environmental permits required for powder coating wood so the application process is very environmentally responsible.The materials are very green friendly.Also, powder coated wood can offer a healthy lifestyle benefit using antimicrobial additives from DuPont which will can remove 99.9% of the surface bacteria, plus since this finish is seamless there are no crevices for bacteria to hide and foster. This is a greatRead More …
Controlling the moisture content in the MDF is critical
The powder coating process requires an electrostatic charge for the powder to attract to the wood while using a premium grade MDF. This electrostatic charge is created by heating the wood to bring the moisture content to the surface, since it is this moisture that serves as the electrostatic conductor.The adhesion of the powder to the board is so strong that to remove the powder finish from the board it is likely the MDF board substrate will chip off before the powder will chip away from the MDF. This process requiresRead More …
Powder coated wood finish has catapulted a huge increase in demand
The design industry has always had to compromise with the trade-off between form vs. function. Advancements in powder coated wood finishes make it possible to have the best of form and function.It is now possible to use more shapes and contoured profile edges in designs, blending this with the functional benefits of a very durable powder coated finish. Powder coated wood has the look and shape that designers and architects can use to create unique designs without the limitations of many other surfaces. AnRead More …
Polyaspartic Coating Technology
The chemistry is based on the reaction of an aliphatic polyisocyanate and a polyaspartic ester, which is an aliphatic diamine. This technology was initially used in conventional two-component polyurethane solvent-borne coating formulations because the polyaspartic esters are excellent reactive diluents for high solids polyurethane coatings. More recent developments in polyaspartic coating technology have concentrated on achieving low or near-zero VOC coatings where the polyaspartic ester is the main component of the co-reactant for reaction with a polyisocyanate. The unique andRead More …
AntiCorrosive Pigments
The future trend in anticorrosive pigments is to obtain chromate free and heavy metal free pigments and to go in the direction of sub-micron and nanotechnology anti corrosive pigments and smart coatings with corrosion-sensing. This type of smart coatings do contain microcapsules containing pH indicator or corrosion inhibitor or/and self healing agents. The shell of the microcapsule breaks down under basic pH conditions. The pH indicator changes color and is released from the microcapsule together with corrosion inhibitor and /Read More …
Antimicrobial Coatings
Antimicrobial coatings are being used on a generous scale, in many ranges of application, varying from anti-fouling paints, coatings used in hospitals and on medical equipment, to algaecidal and fungicidal coatings in and around the house. Until now, coatings with added toxins are being used for these purposes. A growing problem in our world is that on the one hand, for reasons of health and environment, more and more biocides are being prohibited, while on the other hand bacteria areRead More …
Powder coated wood has no VOC’s No HAP’s
Wood powder coating offers many healthy benefits when compared with liquid paint, laminate, melamine, and thermofoil surfaces. Powder coated wood has no VOC’s (volatile organic compounds) that can negatively impact a healthy interior environment. VOC’s found around the house in products such as paint, solvents, and wood preservatives, contribute to “sick building syndrome” because of their high vapor pressure. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) studies have found concentrations of VOCs in indoor air quality to be two to five timesRead More …
