Metallic Flake Powder Coating About
Introduction
Enhance the beauty of your workpiece with special powder additives, offering a personalised and stunning touch.
Thanks to microscopic flakes, flake powders are available to provide depth and brilliance. A uniquely stunning finish is achieved by combining flakes with base or clear coat powder, applied over a base colour such as black high gloss. Mixing flakes into the base colour and finishing with a transparent coat adds depth to the colour layer.
Customise the colour flakes to achieve the desired effect. For a subtle touch, opt for flakes matching the base colour. Alternatively, choose contrasting flakes to make the colours truly stand out in your coating layer. Unleash your creativity and elevate your workpieces appearance with these exceptional powder additives.
Superior Decorative and Protective CoatingThis metallic flake powder coating combines a lustrous visual appeal with advanced protective qualities, making it perfect for enhancing and safeguarding metal substrates. Each application leaves a glossy black base accented by red and silver flakes, ensuring outstanding aesthetics alongside resilience against outdoor elements and chemicals.
Efficient Application ProcessThe product is designed for use with electrostatic spray equipment and can be cured in an industrial oven at temperatures between 180C and 200C. Proper film build is typically 60-90 microns, leading to uniform coverage and optimal performance. Its consistent particle size ensures ease of handling and uniform application.
FAQ's of Metallic Flake Powder Coating:
Q: How is Metallic Flake Powder Coating usually applied to metal surfaces?
A: It is best applied using an electrostatic spray method, ensuring even distribution across metal substrates. After spraying, the coated items must be cured in an industrial oven at temperatures between 180C and 200C to achieve optimal film properties.
Q: What types of metal surfaces are suitable for this powder coating?
A: This coating is formulated for excellent adhesion to various metal substrates, making it suitable for use on steel, aluminum, and other commonly coated metals in industrial, decorative, and protective applications.
Q: When should the coated parts be cured and at what temperature?
A: Curing should take place immediately after application in an industrial oven set to 180C-200C. This temperature range is essential for achieving the recommended film thickness and ensuring the best physical and chemical properties.
Q: Where should the powder coating be stored for maximum shelf life?
A: Store the coating powder in a cool, dry environment below 25C. Under these conditions, the product remains effective for up to 12 months from the date of manufacture.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this metallic flake powder coating?
A: Key advantages include a glossy, decorative finish; high resistance to chemicals and solvents; excellent adhesion to metal; robust weather and UV durability; and reliable coverage rates, enhancing both the appearance and lifespan of coated items.
Q: What is the recommended film thickness and coverage for this coating?
A: Apply the coating to achieve a film thickness of 60-90 microns for best results. Each kilogram covers approximately 8-10 square meters, depending on the final thickness applied.
Q: Can this powder coating be used outdoors, and how does it hold up to weather exposure?
A: Yes, the product is engineered with good UV and outdoor durability, making it suitable for exterior applications on metal surfaces exposed to sunlight, moisture, and variable conditions.
