Moreover, primary advances in powder coating in Ontario were developed so that target applications requiring varying levels of flexibility, adhesion, and application techniques will be achieved. Baked-on, air-dried spray coatings, and primeless options are made available for a process friendly powder coating application. Better yet, new formulations and techniques did not compromise powder coating’s ability to show outstanding UV durability, excellent adhesion, and resistance to corrosion, impact, and abrasion.
Additionally, the use of epoxy/clay nanocomposite in the formulation of powder coating in Ontario is yet another technological improvement that enhances corrosion resistance. It has been tested that clay nanoparticles can be properly dispersed in epoxy resin and can accelerate the epoxy curing reaction. With different concentrations of clay nanoparticles used in formulating custom powder coating, the mechanical properties of such coating are enhanced. It can provide the best thermal and fire resistance as well as superior corrosion resistance when compared to the plain epoxy powder coating formulation.
As for the different application methods available, the most popular technique involves the application of electrostatic charge to facilitate the adhesion of powder coats to the surface. Though it’s quite rare to find custom powder in Ontario that is applicable to non-conductive substrates, especially on the glass, there’s still ideal methods applicable to powder coat products with vitreous substrates.
