Electrostatic powder coating
Electrostatic powder coating is based on the projection of paint in powder form using an electrostatic gun.
The principles of electrostatic powder coating
This process is based on the projection of paint using an electrostatic gun. The paint is in the form of a fine powder, positively or negatively charged by the capture of ions during its dispersion within the gun. The conductive part to be painted being grounded, the attracted powder temporarily adheres to the part. The piece is then placed in the oven, ensuring the melting and polymerization of the powder. Powder spray coating can offer many variations in appearance in terms of shades, textures and effects. The main advantage of these processes is the absence of solvent, thus offering economic, environmental and work safety benefits.
- Deposited thicknesses from 80 to 300 µm
- Application temperature: between 200 and 400°C depending on the coating
