Concept of Powder Coating

Powder Coating is widely used in different industry to coat surface of different products. Different Coating Provides protection to products and give it a decorative finish. As this Plant and its process is environment friendly so it is economical with minimum emission of solvents ensuring of health and safety regulations, Electrostatic spray-assisted vapour deposition (ESAVD) is a technique to deposit both thin and thick layers of a coating onto various substrates. In simple terms chemical precursors are sprayed across an electrostatic field towards a heated substrate, the chemicals undergo a controlled chemical reaction and are deposited on the substrate as the required coating. Electrostatic spraying techniques were developed in the 1950s for the spraying of ionized particles on to charged or heated substrates

The method used to apply powder coating is very dependent on the specific path. Fortunately Powder coating technology offers many choices in the application process. Application methods available include

1) Fluidized bed
2) Electrostatic Fluidized Bed
3) Electrostatic Spray (Corona Charging)
4) Electrostatic Spray (Tribo Charging)
5) Other methods such as Frocking electrostatic disc, Tunnel coaster, flame spray, plasma spray

For choosing a suitable coating method several factor should be considered
1) The film thickness requirement
2) Line speed
3) Part configuration size thickness
4) Products performance characteristics

2. Actual Working Conditions
3. Quality of workers and Wages : Wage rate,
4. Products Coating Thickness ( less or more)

Pre-Treatment before Powder Coating Process

Powder coating can be done on bare steel and other metal products without pretreatment process. But for higher quality coating pre-treatment is recommended .The bond between paint & metal barely adequate. Corrosion protection is not existent.
Pre-treatment process is pre-conditioning of a surface to be powder coated so that it accepts a coating, which looks attractive, adheres well, lasts long & protects what's underneath.
Pre-treatment is normally undertaken by dipping the workplaces in chemicals diluted by water.
For different type of metals following methods of pre-treatment can be applied.

FOR STEEL & MAZAK (ZINC PHOSPHATING)
• De-greasing
• Water Rinse
• De-rusting
• Water Rinse
• Water Rinse (optional)
• Phosphate
• Water Rinse
• Passive.
This is a zinc phosphate process recommended for excellent adhesion & long-term corrosion resistance properties.

FOR STEEL & MAZAK (IRON PHOSPHATING)
• De-rusting
• Water Rinse
• Phosphate
This is an iron phosphate process recommended for excellent adhesion & medium duty corrosion resistance. Recommended for indoor use only.

FOR ALUMINUM OR GALVANIZED STEEL
• De-greasing
• Water Rinse
• Etching (optional)
• Water Rinse
• Chromating
• Water Rinse

This is a chromating process in order to guarantee optimum adhesion & excellent protection to corrosion.
A series of factors like metal type and quality, surface conditions, i.e. degree of oil & rust present & environmental condition etc. affect the type of pre-treatment needed. With our wide experience we may be able to suggest a better and economical technique. Please get in touch with us.
This information is a guideline & we hope you have a good idea on the steps to proper pretreatment.

Parts of Powder Coating Plant

Pre-Treatment System:

Pre-treatment plant is a most important part of powder coating plant. Pre-treatment is required to pre condition a surface to be painted so it accepts a paint film which looks attractive, adheres well, lasts long and protect what's underneath.
A Pre-treatment system is decided according to the component to be powder coated. For ferrous metals, Phosphate coating prior to painting is suitable and for non-ferrous substrates like aluminum, chromate coating offers the most appropriate pre-conditioning.
Since the most correct and economical pre- treatment method may vary widely case to case, please consult us on the most optimum solution.
We manufacture and undertake installation of complete metal treatment system according to your requirement.

Air Compressor:
An air compressor is needed to deliver continuous compressed air to the Powder coating process. The compressor must deliver oil and moisture free air.

Air Dryer/ Oil and Moisture Separator:
Air Dryer or An oil and moisture separator required removing contaminants from compressed air before feeding it to the process.
Powder Spray Gun and Other Equipment:
An electrostatic powder spray gun is required to spray and charge the powder to the component.

Powder Spray cum Recovery Booth:
The component to be powder coated is first hanged in the powder spray booth and then coated by a powder coating equipment. Over-sprayed powder is collected by Spray Booth for subsequent reuse. A good powder recovery system can re-collect over sprayed powder up-to 98%. The recovery system may be:
(1) Filter Cartridge type- Suitable for one or two powder colors.
(2) Cyclone Type - Suitable for frequent color change.

Powder Curing Oven:
Oven which is the part of Powder Coating Plant is used for curing of powder. Oven type can be electrical or oil fired or gas fired. It requires 180 ° C to 225 ° C temperature for powder curing also depending upon the quality of powder.

Conveyor / Monorail:
A conveyor or monorail is required. For moving the work-piece from pre-treatment tanks to spray booth and from spray booth to the oven, For a batch type coating unit, conveyor is not required.
