One popular brand of fluoropolymer is IFS 500FP, which is a high performance, FEVE based Fluoropolymer and adds better abrasion resistance to the standard fluoropolymer characteristics. Powder can also be applied using specifically adapted electrostatic discs. Prices for these powders can still be high, but they enable coating on products previously unresponsive to the procedure. Shot blasting recycles the media and is environmentally friendly. Powder coatings based on Stepan resins deliver: Polyurethane powder coatings exhibit excellent application and performance characteristics and offer the smoothest films available. Preheating can help to achieve a more uniform finish but can also create other problems, such as runs caused by excess powder. When comparing polyester vs. epoxy powder coat, one disadvantage of epoxy powders is their inability to weather well. Parts made with a thinner-gauge material need to be burned off at a lower temperature to prevent the material from warping. Increasing government support for eco-friendly and economical products will stimulate demand over the forecast period. High-temperature powders are composed of silicone resins, curing catalysts and glass filler materials. This makes them safer to work with, dispose of and transport and brings unbeatable environmental advantages to you and your customer. Do you need a special type of polyester powder coating additive? A powder spray gun is used, which when triggered gives an electrostatic charge to the powder particles passing through it. 
In general all thermosetting powder formulations contain next to the binder resin and cross-linker additives to support flow out and levelling and for degassing. [11], A major challenge for all low bake systems is to optimize simultaneously reactivity, flow out (aspect of the powder film) and storage stability. For further questions or inquiries drop us a line at coatingsinfo@ifscoatings.com. Polyester powder coatings are solventless and are applied by electrostatic application in solid state direct to conductive coating substrates, usually metals. The curing schedule could vary according to the manufacturer's specifications. This method is generally used when the desired thickness of coating is to exceed 300 micrometres. In addition, the RUCOTE 100 resin series can be used to formulate TGIC-free systems. Eco-Friendly Metal Finishing: Powder Coating.
