After coils of steel are cut to length and have holes and notches stamped into them to create blanks, the blanks are delivered to Industrial Powder Coating stacked on pallets. IPC pretreats the blanks, dries them, then powder coats, cures and restacks them. The blanks then are shipped by truck to the manufacturer, which uses postforming equipment to shape them into the back, side and front panels of appliance cabinets.
Powder coating is a type of dry coating, which is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. The main difference between a conventional liquid paint and a powder coating is that the powder coating does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form. The coating is typically applied electrostatically and is then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a "skin." The powder may be a thermoplastic or a thermoset polymer. It is usually used to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint. Powder coating is mainly used for coating of metals, such as "white goods", aluminium extrusions, and automobile and motorcycle parts. Newer technologies allow other materials, such as MDF (medium-density fibreboard), to be powder coated using different methods.
Powder coating is no longer the new kid on the block, but it is still a growing technology in both the coating and equipment fields. Powder coaters are installing more automated systems, including PLCs, to minimize operating costs. Cyclone systems are ... gaining in popularity because they afford quick color changes.
Powder coating starts with, as you might guess, a powder. This powder is somewhat like a finely ground, dried paint—a mixture of resin and pigment. You can ... think of it as a powdered plastic. The general idea is to cover an object with this powder, and then heat it briefly in an oven so that the powder melts and flows together, forming a smooth, solid layer. The tricky part, though, is getting the powder to stick, preferably in an extremely even coat. This is done using electrostatic charges—the same phenomenon that makes your hair stick to your comb or dust stick to your computer screen.
