Epoxy powder coatings are highly functional products designed to provide coating films with excellent adhesion, durability, and resistance to chemical agents, fuels, and lubricating oils.
Key Features:
- Made from pure epoxy resins cross-linked with proprietary hardeners.
- Deliver superior coating performance and are available in a variety of vibrant finishes.
Preparation Guidelines:
To ensure optimal results, the surface to be coated must be thoroughly cleaned to remove oils, grease, or flash rust.
Curing Process:
- Recommended curing schedule: 10-15 minutes at 180-200ºC metal temperature.
Handling and Storage:
- Store the epoxy powder in a cool and dry environment, ideally below 30°C, to preserve its chemical and mechanical properties. Exposure to higher temperatures can compromise quality.
Applications:
Epoxy powder coatings are ideal for environments requiring maximum corrosion and chemical resistance. They are best suited for indoor applications and areas shielded from direct sunlight, offering a smooth finish free from defects like orange peel.
Top Coat Recommendation: For metallic powder coatings, applying a transparent top coat is advised. The top coat acts as a protective layer, preventing oxidation of the metallic pigments in the base coat, thereby increasing the coating’s durability.
