Classification according to the main components of powder coating raw materials
1. Polyester Non TGIC(Industry or Architecture)
This coating uses a "Primid" type curing agent, developed as an alternative to TGIC curing systems. These coatings are used on a decreasing basis, primarily due to appearance issues at heavy film thicknesses.
New raw materials and processes are continuously evaluated for ongoing product development and enhancement — improved properties, and lower cost!
2. Polyester TGIC(Industry or Architecture)
This is the most "forgiving" exterior powder coating vs non-TGIC polyesters. Excellent weatherability, toughness, and color stability are hallmarks. Appearance is best at 1.5 miles and over. Very flexible, these coatings can be "post formed" provided proper tooling setups are used. A wide range of cure temperatures and dwell times can be used.
Most TGIC polyesters can be used for Aluminum extrusion, Automotive components, recreational and playground equipment, Fencing, and outdoor light posts.
3. Hybrid
For interior use with some indirect UV exposure or where much better color stability in varying cure cycles is desired. Achieving a good balance between Epoxy and Polyester, these coatings are ideal on display/store shelving and most indoor appliances.
4. Epoxy
For interior and non-critical weathering applications where chemical, electrical, or possible livestock ingestion environments are encountered
Typical applications are on lab furniture, water/well pumps, certain engine components, children's toys, and certain electrical components.
5. Polyurethane
Provides excellent leveling, smoothness, and gloss. Superior hardness can be achieved (usually one "pencil" more than TGIC) and is designed for relatively low film build. Certain chemical resistances can be developed to a high level. This product is sensitive to cure parameters; they must be closely followed for optimum results.
6. Acrylic
This technology platform will meet key specifications up to AAMA 2605 and 625. These special resins now have a 10+ year track record, offering improved ultraviolet stability versus Super Durable powders and improved hardness and stucco resistance versus Kynar resin-based liquid and powder materials.
7. Functional
Functional coatings include super durable, thermal-transfer, clear powder coating, Antistatic, Heat-resistant, Zinc-Rich anti-corrosion, Antimicrobial, etc.
