Specialty powder coating application is also called spray powder application. There are a number of systems in use to make the application smooth and successful. These are as follows:
- Powder Delivery. This part of specialty powder coating application involves itself with a delivery device to spray the coating on the given surface. Oftentimes, there is a pump mechanism that drives the specialty powder coating onto the surface. There is also the need for an applicator oftentimes a gun with a needlepoint end where the specialty powder coating would be ejected from onto the surface.
- Powder Charging. This part of specialty powder coating application is very much needed in order to apply the coating on the given surface. The coating is electrostatically charged through the delivery device allowing it to attach itself to the sprayed on surface.
- Reclamation System. This is a separate system from the delivery and charging. Since not all the particles of the specialty powder coating attaches itself to the surface, these remain ambient in the surrounding area. To prevent any health issue and for cost efficiency, a reclamation system consisting of pumps and fans suck the ambient powder coating to reclaim them and be available for use.
- Curing System. This part of the specialty powder coating application process involves heating the surface where the charged powder had attached itself to. This means, the curing process or drying process transforms the specialty powder coating into polymers to seal the coating upon the surface.
These four basic steps ensure that the specialty powder coating application process is effective. The powder delivery system ensures that the specialty powder coating is applied properly. The powder charging system ensures the specialty powder coating attaches to the surface. The reclamation system collects and reuses the specialty powder coating that did not attach to the surface and the curing system seals the specialty powder coating unto the surface.
