Sprayed Thermoplastic Powders

The spraying of Thermoplastic Powders as opposed to the more common Electrostatic spraying of Epoxys and Polyesters also known as Thermoset materials (Powder Coating), is a speciality at Plastic Coatings.

Using a similar process to Powder coating, charged Thermoplastic Powder particles are sprayed onto metalwork hanging on an earthed conveyor track.

However the next stage is to melt the plastic powder particles onto the metalwork rather that ‘cure’ them as in powder coating.

The benefit is to be able to plastic coat work, with all the features that entails, which is usually too big or too fragile to be dip coated.

Coating materials used are the PPA ® 571 ES range and Electrostatic Nylon 11 (Rilsan ®).

Features includes:
•  Thicker coatings than traditional ‘PowderCoating’
•  Excellent corrosion resistance
•  Good Impact resistance
•  Excellent Weather resistance
•  Flexible
•  ‘Warm’ to the touch
•  Excellent UV resistance
•  Good Edge coverage

Typical components are:
•  Rainwater Gutters and Downpipes
•  Roof rack components
•  Outdoor Wirework
•  Garden Equipment
•  Industrial Roof Insulation Supports
•  Display equipment
•  Handrailing
•  Security Posts
•  Barriers
