Powder Coating

Effective powder coating application starts with proper pretreatment and clean, dry substrates. Degrease, rinse, and deoxidize/desmut; apply a conversion layer (e.g., zirconium/titanium for aluminum or phosphate for steel) and ensure full dry-off. Optimize booth conditions and electrostatics with solid ground (<1 MΩ), correct gun kV/μA settings, and uniform gun-to-part distance. Apply even film builds, watching Faraday areas and edges; use cross-coats for coverage on complex geometries. Verify cure by metal temperature and time (e.g., 10 min @ 180–200 °C depending on the powder), then perform QC (DFT, gloss, adhesion, impact, MEK rub, and visual inspection). BLUETEE supports low-temp/fast-cure options, outgas-forgiving grades, and a wide range of textures and metallics to help finishers achieve consistent, VOC-free results across architectural, industrial, and automotive parts.
