A coating that does not undergo a chemical reaction while drying is known as a thermoplastic coating. The coating is instead heated until it becomes “fused” to the substrate. thermoplastic powder coatings are typically sold as powders.
First, the necessary temperature is reached on the coating particles or metal surface. The coating subsequently hardens and becomes stronger as a result of the subsequent cooling process. The capability of thermoplastic coatings to be reheated, remolten, and resolidified is one of their most distinctive features.
thermoplastic powder coatings can be reheated without significantly altering their composition or strength characteristics, allowing for surface reprocessing and redistribution.
This enables those who apply coatings to fix any defects that could have shown during initial application. On the other hand, non-thermoset coatings burn when reheated and cannot be processed and reapplied.
The following are some of the popular techniques for applying thermoplastic coatings:Electrostatic spraying – The powder coating is electrically charged and drawn to the metal’s surface by the electrostatic force.
The coated substance and dry film are then heated in an oven until the powder melts and flows. Application of the powder coating through a spray nozzle after preheating the metal component. The coating quickly becomes dry.
The Global thermoplastic powder coatings market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Axalta uses thermoplastic powder coatings on a daily basis. They are far more than the sturdy, thick coatings you may see on drying racks for laundry or refrigerator shelves. They offer great weather resistance and corrosion protection.
The thermoplastic coatings that Axalta offers come in a variety of performance ranges. The following characteristics distinguish thermoplastic powder coatings from thermoset coatings, which are typically decorative, thin film coatings: simple system, covering with a thick sheet, starting at 300 m,Flexible,exceptionally durable and resistant to chemical and mechanical stress, warm contact, electrical shielding, Environmentally friendly (free of BPA, halogens, and VOCs).
Many different sectors utilize Axalta thermoplastic powder coatings for the following reasons: In difficult situations, excellent corrosion protection, savings over time on maintenance expenses, cheaper materials, quicker and more efficient coating production lines, minimal impact on the environment
