Powder coated bicycle frames and parts. The powder coating process was invented around 1945 by Daniel Gustin and received US Patent 2538562 in 1945. [4] This process coats an object electrostatically and then cures it with heat, creating a finish harder and tougher than conventional paint.
The coating acts as a sacrificial layer when it comes in contact with another surface so that the base material underneath is protected and remains unharmed. [2] [3] Abradable Powder Coatings safely reduce operating clearances and friction to improve the efficiency of compressors, pumps, engines, blowers, etc.
Powder coating on glass requires specialized equipment. The biggest challenge is getting the powder to adhere to the glass surface since there is no natural electrostatic attraction like there is with different metals. A clean glass subsurface that will not interfere with the process is essential before beginning the powder coating procedure. [3]
The molten powder ‘flows’ into the profile and bonds with the steel. The molten powder will become a solid coating, when the ‘gel time’ is over, which usually occurs within few seconds after coating application. The resin part of coating will undergo cross-linking, which is known as “curing” under the hot condition.
A powder feed stock is injected into the gas stream, which accelerates the powder up to 800 m/s. The stream of hot gas and powder is directed towards the surface to be coated. The powder partially melts in the stream, and deposits upon the substrate. The resulting coating has low porosity and high bond strength. [1]
