IGP-RAPID®: Coating new Materials
The Powder Coating Revolution for Applying Sophisticated Surface Finishes to Heat-sensitive Substrates.
Today, the use of aluminum for lightweight components and furniture is declining. Elements are increasingly made from wood-based materials such as medium-density fiberboard (MDF). Earlier powder coatings achieved unsatisfactory results on these objects.
Now IGP-RAPID® has ushered in a new age for a market with a highly attractive future. The innovation opens up new scope because it includes high-performance powder coatings specially developed for these trend-setting materials. It also leaves plenty of scope for surfaces of any look and feel – from deep matt to silk gloss and from finely-structured haptics to surfaces in solid colors or with a shimmer effect. No matter what look you require, all our powder coatings provide a durable and easy-clean surface.
The low temperatures, with curing windows from 130°C and curing times of 3 minutes, are unrivalled on the market. These products enable all-round coating of profile sections in one pass. With our cost-effective, eco-friendly powder coatings, you can enhance your design, protect your products, and gain entirely new freedom to create profiles of any shape. You can choose from dozens of shades in a variety of gloss levels.
The powder coating is sprayed around the entire object in one coat. After application, the curing procedure melts the powder coating. This produces a seamless coating that adheres strongly to the substrate and is extremely robust once it has finished drying through.
IGP-RAPID® can also be used to coat combinations of different materials. Thanks to all-round seamless coating, the powder coating also allows for sophisticated and complex geometries such as milled angles, rounded corners, and finger holes. That means maximum design freedom.
IGP-RAPID® consists entirely of solid materials and is therefore solvent-free. The components emit no harmful vapors, meaning that the product complies with the ECO-BKP standard.
Success Stories and Events in Powder Coating on Wood
IGP-RAPID®: The Perfect Solution for Interior and Exterior use
Whether for interior or exterior use, the IGP-RAPID® range offers the right powder coating for every area of application. A finish that has long been established for metals is now available for use on other materials as well. As a durable and sustainable alternative to liquid varnish, this powder coating produces stunning results.
This process does not needlessly waste powder. In fact, 90 percent of the excess powder can be recovered. The shorter coating processes also ensure much lower energy consumption than conventional liquid varnishing. Thanks to seamless all-round coating, edges and surfaces can be coated in a single pass.
