Types of Applications

Before Keyland Polymer begins any project, we like to first evaluate the requirements to determine if a UV cured powder coat would be a good fit. Below are some examples and scenarios. Of course every scenario is different. Feel free to Contact Us and we can discuss!

Ideal Scenarios for UV Powder

  • Need for state of the art finishing system to add new or expand existing capacity
  • Looking for a replacement of end of life or obsolete finishing system with a highly productive and technologically advanced finishing system
  • Replacement of solvent-borne or solvent containing liquid coatings
  • Need to finish heat sensitive materials/assembled components without causing any damage to the parts
  • Looking to increase efficiency in process and a smaller plant footprint
  • Constrained by environmental regulations and the need to comply with regulatory requirements

Difficult Scenarios for UV Powder

  • Low volume
  • Complex geometries – UV powder requires “line of sight cure” meaning the object needs to be exposed to direct UV light to fully cure
  • Materials with extremely low melt points (below 100°C)
  • Exterior or marine use

Successful UV Curable Powder Coating System Applications

Keyland Polymer designed a coating process for pre-assembled metal doors

System for Pre-Assembled Metal Doors

Assisted in the design, build, start up of a UV powder coating system for steel pre-assembled doors for the metal building industry.

Keyland Polymer UV Powder developed a process for treating MDF wood

System for DVUV Coating MDF Wood

A one coat 20 minute single step finishing process for MDF wood components. Automatic spray application, IR/Convection oven and Microwave Wave. DVUV has produced millions of components for a variety of applications.

Keyland Polymer UV Powder developed a system for coating metal wire

System for Coating Wire

A high speed coating system finishing 4 flat cold rolled steel wires side by side at 300’ per minute. The system includes corona powder application, melt/flow stage using induction heat and UV lamps for curing. The melt/flow and UV curing stages are completed in 18’ or 3.6 seconds.

Industries Served

Companies are seeking new and innovative finishing technologies to improve their day to day operations. Some are just starting out and need a new system install. Others are looking to replace their current finishing systems for one that is more efficient, adds greater capacity, and offers a more sustainable finishing solution.
