Testing Methods for Powder Coating Application Process

TESTING METHODS FOR POWDER COATING

TESTING METHODS FOR POWDER COATING Testing methods are designed for two purposes: 1. Performance reliability ; 2. Quality control (1)  GLOSS TEST (ASTM D523) Test coated flat panel with Gardener 60 degree meter.  Coating shall not vary  + or – 5% from data sheet requirements on each material supplied. (2)  BENDING TEST (ASTM D522) Coating on .036 inch thick phosphated steel panel shall withstand 180 degree bend over 1/4″ mandrel.  No crazing or loss of adhesion and finish at the bend beRead More …

Powder Coating Storage And Handling

Powder Coating Storage And Handling

Powder Coating Storage And Handling Powder, like any coating material must be shipped, inventoried, and handled in its journey from the powder coating manufacturer to the point of application. Manufacturers’ recommendations, procedures, and cautions should be followed. Although various powders may have specific requirements, some universal rules apply. It is important that powders should always be: Protected from excess heat; Protected from humidity and water; Protected from contamination with foreign materials, such as other powders, dust, dirt, etc. These areRead More …

Quality Control of Powder Coating

Paint over powder coat - How to paint over powder coat

Quality Control Of Powder Coating Quality control in the finishing industry requires attention to more than just coating. In fact, the majority of problems occur for reasons other than coating faults. To assure quality where coating may be a factor, statistical process control (SPC) can be a useful tool. SPC SPC involves measuring the powder coating process using statistical methods and improving it to reduce variation at desired process levels. SPC can also help determine the difference between typical variationRead More …

Environmental advantages of powder coating mean substantial savings

powder coating powder

Today’s environmental concerns are a major economic factor in the selection or operation of a finishing system. The environmental advantages of powder coating-no VOC problems and essentially no waste- can mean substantial savings in finishing costs. As energy costs continue to rise, other advantages of powder coating become even more important. Without the need for solvent recovery, complex filtering systems are not required, and less air has to be moved, heated, or cooled, which can be a significant cost saving.Read More …
