ECO-CURE – The Eco-Friendly, Low Cure Powder Coating
Thermaset is a customer focussed coating solution provider who recognises our responsibility to provide our customers with options for coatings that offer the ability to reduce energy consumption, reduce costs and reduce carbon footprint whilst increasing productivity through improved process efficiency.
Excellent Outdoor
Durability
Eco-cure powder coatings provide outstanding outdoor durability, effectively resisting harsh environmental conditions, including weathering, UV radiation, and corrosion.
Blooming
Resistance
Blooming resistance prevents the formation of unwanted surface deposits or discoloration, maintaining its appearance and enhancing the longevity of the product.
Over-bake
Stability
The Eco-cure range maintains its desired properties and performance when exposed to higher-than-recommended curing temperatures.
ECO-CURE Range
- Polyester/Architectural
Provides a tough decorative finish with excellent outdoor durability and UV protection whilst also required lower temperatures for applications, thereby reducing processing costs.
- Polyester/Industrial
Durable and long-lasting finish that can withstand harsh environmental conditions and resist corrosion, chipping, and fading. It also requires less energy to apply, helping to reduce your carbon footprint.
- Hybrid Epoxy-Polyester
A tough decorative finish with superior heat stability and excellent durability, able to be cured at lower temperatures, reducing energy consumption and aiding sustainability.
- Epoxy
These coatings provide exceptional adhesion, chemical resistance, and durability whilst consuming less energy during the firing process, thereby reducing costs.
- Fast Cure
Engineered for rapid curing, these coatings minimise downtime between curing cycles, resulting in increased efficiency and productivity.
Eco-cure powder coatings offer several advantageous features, which make them a preferred choice for industries seeking more environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and versatile coating solutions while maintaining high-quality finishes and performance standards. Here are some key features.
Faster Curing
With lower curing temperatures, eco-cure powder coatings allow for faster production cycles. Shorter curing times mean quicker turnaround times for coated products, increasing overall productivity and efficiency in the manufacturing process.
Energy Efficient
The lower curing temperature of these coatings translates into significant energy savings during the curing process. As less energy is required to reach the curing temperature, manufacturers can lower their operating costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process.
Variety of Finishes
The versatility of our Eco-Cure range allows for the creation of a diverse array of finishes, including textures, ripples, pearlescent tones, metallic hues, and even architectural grades, meeting a myriad of design preferences all whilst benefiting from lower curing temperatures.
Excellent Outdoor Durability
Eco-cure powder coatings exhibit excellent outdoor durability, making them suitable for use in applications exposed to harsh environmental conditions. These coatings offer superior resistance to weathering, UV radiation, and corrosion, ensuring that the coated surfaces maintain their appearance and performance over extended periods.
Blooming Resistance
“blooming” refers to a phenomenon where a hazy or cloudy appearance appears on the surface of the cured coating. Blooming can affect the visual appearance of the coating and may lead to reduced performance in terms of gloss, colour, and durability.
To address this issue, blooming-resistant powder coatings are formulated to minimise the migration of low molecular weight components to the surface, even under challenging environmental conditions. Various techniques can be used to achieve this, as well as incorporating additives that improve the coating’s resistance to blooming.
