Properties of Powders

Epoxy Polyester Coatings – Gloss, Semi-Gloss, Matt

For maximum adhesion the substrate must be thoroughly cleaned of grease, rust etc. by shot blasting, solvent or chemical degreasing. For maximum protection it is essential to pretreat the substrate prior to the application of Thermaset Limited epoxy-polyester powder coatings.

Aluminium
Aluminium components should receive a full multi-stage chromate conversion coating or similar chrome-free pretreatment to clean and prepare the substrate. Detailed advice should be sought from the pretreatment supplier.

Galvanized steel
Galvanized steel requires multi-stage pretreatment with either zinc phosphate or chromate conversion. Depending on the type of galvanizing, degassing or use of anti bubbling additives may be required. Detailed advice should be sought from the pretreatment supplier.

Ferrous substrates
Ferrous substrates require iron or zinc phosphate pretreatment. Detailed advice should be sought from the pretreatment supplier.

Thermaset Limited epoxy-polyester powder coatings can be applied by manual or automatic electrostatic spray equipment, general recommendation is for a film thickness of 60 – 100 microns depending on covering power and colour, with a minimum recommendation of 60 microns.

Test Panels, 50 microns thickness applied to light weight zinc phosphated steel.
