Powder Manufacturing Process
We have full scale in-house powder manufacturing equipment and capabilities. It is important to note that UV cured powder coating is manufactured in the same way and uses the same equipment as traditional thermoset powder coatings.
The powder manufacturing process is outlined below.
Mix
Dry raw materials including resin, photoinitiators, pigments, additives, and fillers are weighed in exact quantity and mixed together until fully blended.
Extrusion
The dry mix is then fed into a twin-screw extruder where the dry powder is mixed and heated into a liquid. The extradite is flattened between two chill rollers and deposed on to a cooling belt. The cooled material is chipped at the end of the belt.
Milling
The chipped material is then milled and classified to an exact particle size distribution.
Packaging
The milled powder is screened and placed in 55lb. boxes for shipping all over the world.
