Versatile Applications of Powder Coating and Batch Liquid Ovens
New finishing technologies are evolving to streamline processes and ensure durability. Powder coating and batch liquid ovens are indispensable tools for many industries for precise, aesthetically appealing finishes. Here are some of the ways these tools are used and advantages of these finishing systems.
What Is Powder Coating?
Powder coating is a dry finishing process that applies finely ground pigment and resin to the surface of an object. These particles are electrostatically charged, allowing them to adhere to the surface. Once the coating is applied, the object is heated in an oven to cure the coating, which creates a durable, high-quality finish. Powder coating does not contain solvents and produces very little waste, so it is very eco-friendly compared to some liquid coatings.
Common Uses for Powder Coatings
In the automotive industry, powder coatings are used for wheels, chassis components, and engine parts to provide corrosion and scratch resistance. For the construction industry, powder coatings are used for aluminum window frames, structural components, and railings, as they are weather resistant. Powder coatings are also used for furniture manufacturing and industrial equipment for their superior resistance to harsh environments.
Batch Liquid Ovens
Batch liquid ovens are industrial ovens designed to cure liquid coatings, adhesives, and other materials like plastic or rubber. These ovens use precise temperature control, so that products have uniform curing. Batch ovens are different from continuous ovens, as they allow for smaller quantities, unique items, and custom production.
Common Uses for Batch Liquid Ovens
The aerospace Industry uses batch liquid ovens for engine parts, landing gear, and other components that require strict performance and safety standards. Custom coatings like epoxy, polyurethane, and silicone rely on batch liquid ovens for precise curing. The electronics industry uses batch liquid ovens to coat circuit boards and other components from moisture and corrosion. For companies that create prototypes, batch ovens are a great option for small testing runs of new materials before rolling out to a larger scale of production.
Advantages of Powder Coating and Batch Liquid Ovens
There are many advantages to using powder coating to resist corrosion and UV damage. These coatings are durable, eco-friendly, and cost-effective as well as versatile across many applications. Batch liquid ovens provide flexibility for different materials and coatings, with precise curing for customized products. They are also ideal for custom and smaller scale projects, helping companies reduce waste and costs during development of new products.
