Like 90 percent of powder coating users in the U.S., Harden uses the electrostatic spray process, in which the dry particles are electrically charged. The positively charged particles adhere to a ...

Manufacturers have had the capability to spray a powder finish on wood for some time now. But few manufacturers are taking the initiative to provide information about the process, as well as the ...

Why is it called powdercoating? To put it simply, the coating is originally applied as a thermosetting powder made up of polyester, epoxy, and acrylic resin combined with various crosslinking ...

If you don’t yet have a toaster oven you can’t use with food, here’s yet another reason: DIY powder coating. Powder coating is much harder and more durable than paint – a property imbued to it by the ...

The authors experiment with a resonant acoustic mixer as a method for dry powder coating. Efficient handling and transport of fine-particle powders can be difficult because of the highly cohesive ...

Improvements in the coil coating process for pre-painted metals are fueling their growth in popularity. In fact, pre-painted metals are now a top choice for builders and manufacturers, due to ...

An array of powder-metal parts. Powder metallurgy was practiced long before ancient artisans learned to melt and cast iron. Egyptians made iron tools using PM techniques back in 3,000 B.C. The ancient ...

As composites practitioners well know, tooling for composite parts is a challenge. Metal tools are the most robust option and support rate production, but they need to be carefully engineered to match ...

The use of granular materials and fine powders are commonplace in industrial applications. These materials must be precisely characterized in order to properly control and optimize processing methods, ...

For parts with lower temperature thresholds, such as composites, an ultraviolet (UV) curable powder coating can be an ideal solution. Source (All Images) | Keyland Polymer From aerospace and ...
