Course Description

Design low temperature powder coatings for temperature sensitive substrates (MDF, wood, plastics...) while meeting both physical (adhesion/impact resistance...) & aesthetical (smoothness/gloss versatility...) properties requirements at minimal cost.

Leading expert, Veronica Reichert will provide insights on:

  • Advantages and limitations of low temperature cure powder coating systems
  • Raw materials selection, processing conditions, and application issues
  • Formulation best practices for each type of curing (thermal or UV cure)

Why should you view this course?

Due to the clear advantages (negligible VOCs, cost-efficiency, energy savings...) of powder coatings over liquid coatings, their demand in the industry is increasing, with a predicted 7% growth between 2019 and 2025. However, formulating powder coatings for temperature-sensitive substrates (MDF, wood, plastics...) is a tricky business.

You must have a strong understanding of precise processing conditions, application issues, and the right raw materials. Without this, you might miss out on achieving the desired coating properties (physical, aesthetical, and chemical) in your low cure systems at minimal cost. Join this course to:

  • Gain expertise in formulating powder coatings for temperature-sensitive substrates
  • Learn how to select the right raw materials and processing conditions
  • Understand how to balance physical, aesthetic, and chemical properties for low-temperature cure systems at minimal cost

  1. Understand how to formulate low-temperature cure powder coatings by in-depth reviewing its underlying science, film formation, and cure chemistry.

  2. Shorten your R&D time and swiftly shift to low-temperature and UV curable powder coatings by understanding the chemical reactions involved in cure, the impact of resin properties on final coating performance, the effect of catalysts, and more.

  3. Learn how to tackle problems like orange peel, roughness, poor spray pattern, and discover which raw materials to choose and the optimal cure conditions (thermal and UV cure options).
