Application Guide

Surface Preparation:

All surfaces should be degreased and pretreated for optimal performance. Suitable pretreatment includes:

  • Aluminum Yellow chromate or green chromate/phosphate
  • Ferrous metals Zinc phosphate or Iron phosphate
  • Zinc Coated Metals Zinc phosphate or chromate

 

Application Procedure and Equipment:

  • PE50 series powder coatings charging properties are optimized when powder is free-flowing and moisture-free. Aged or compacted powder may require preconditioning for several minutes to fluidise evenly.
  • If storage room temperature is lower than the application area, powder coatings, which are hygroscopic, should be acclimated in unopened containers prior to adding into the spray hopper. For optimum performance, It should be applied and stored at air-conditioning area. Storage temperatures should be kept below 30°C.
  • Powder should not be stored in hoppers for long periods of time. If moisture condensation occurs, fluidize powder to dry-out or replace moisture-laden powder with virgin powder.
  • Powder coatings are finely ground particulates. Respirators or dust masks should be used by workers exposed to powder in order to avoid dust inhalation.
  • Compressed air to the gun must be oil and moisture free.
  • Silicone should not be used in application area.
  • For box feeders, ensure probe is fully inserted in powder and operated as per manufacturer’s recommendations.
  • Contact points should be maintained to ensure metal-to-metal ground.
  • Apply by electrostatic spray. Relative humidity should be 50-60% for corona system, lower than 40% for tribo system.
  • Cure as per recommendations outlined above.
  • Reclaim-to-virgin ratios should be carefully monitored to maintain spray consistency.
  • Sieving powder before adding to hopper eliminates potential clumping or foreign matter.
  • Test for cure of the coating by impact test.
Care and Maintenance
  • PE50 should be regularly washed with warm water and mild liquid detergent, followed by a fresh water rinse to maintain the attractive appearance of the powder cured film.
  • The use of abrasive cleaners is not recommended, nor is the use of active organic solvents.
Precautions and Limitations
  • As a result of possible wide application variations and stoving conditions, PE58 may show variation, between İBA Kimya Powder Coatings prepared samples and production applied material. Therefore, it is the applicator and/or their customer’s responsibility to ensure the product conforms to their requirements.
  • For optimum performance ensures recommended dry film thickness is obtained.
  • Not recommended for use in highly corrosive environments.
  • Due to water release during curing process, pin hole problem can be seen above 100 μm.
