Product Description

Curing ovens - To polymerise the powder applied to the substrate we must heat both to a high temperature for a few minutes. This is the curing process. As powder coatings do not contain solvents (unlike liquid coatings) a flash zone is not required in the curing oven. The volume of exhaust gases is also substantially lower which can also substantially lower operational costs. The formulation of the powder coating material determines to a large extent the curing time and temperature of the coated object. It will also result in the specified film properties. At present we can select from several curing oven types: Convection oven: Is most frequently used and can be divided into directly fired and in-directly fired ovens. Fuel options are natural gas, propane, oil or electricity. In the case of a directly fired oven combustion gases can interfere seriously with the powder during curing and with film properties thereafter. In any oven care should be taken that no high air velocities exist or are created that could damage the virgin, or not yet solidified, powder coating layer. Acceptable air velocities are in the 1 to 2m/sec range.
Infra-Red oven: Uses radiant energy to heat a product through electromagnetic waves. Infrared heating works very quickly. There are three types of emitters - short, medium and long wave length. Their main performance differences are operating temperature (some 2000, 1050 and 600°C respectively) and radiation efficiency (80, 60 and 50% respectively). Higher temperatures result in faster heating rates and a lower efficiency which results in a higher loss through convection heat.
DUAL OR COMBINATIO OVEN:
Both infra-red and convection are applied. In the infrared section the powder film is melted to avoid powder being blown off in the convection section where additional time is available to complete the entire crosslinking process. Induction oven: Heat is generated in the metal object through induction of eddy currents. The advantage being, as with infrared, the powder coating can start reacting before contact with gas combustion components can take place. Medium temperature radiation offers the most effective source of heat for curing thermosetting powders. Gas fired emitter panels present a panel surface temperature of 900°C. Electric panels give a surface temperature of approximately 800°C. The work-pieces should be maintained at a distance of approximately 300mm from the emitter panels. Substrates coated with darker colour powder absorb more infra-red radiation, while objects with light coloured powder do not heat up as quickly. It is therefore recommended that each individual powder. is tested in combination with the curing oven to evaluate the curing performance.
