Processing

Pre-treatment

The substrate must be free from oil, grease and oxidation products. The pretreatment depends on the type of substrate and the corrosion protection to be achieved. We recommend the following pretreatments:

Aluminium
  • Chromating according to DIN EN 12487
  • Pre-anodization
  • Chrome-free pretreatment according to GSB International and QUALICOAT specifications
Steel
  • Zinc phosphating
Galvanised steel
  • Zinc phosphating
  • Chrome (III) passivation
  • Chromating according to DIN EN 12487

For improved corrosion protection for applications on steel / galvanised steel, the use of corrosion protection primer IGP-KORROPRIMER 10 or IGP-KORROPRIMER 60 is recommended.

The suitability of the pretreatment method used is generally to be tested by the coater in advance with appropriate test methods. The minimum requirement for aluminium substrates / galvanised steel components is to carry out a boiling water test with a subsequent cross-cut adhesion and tape test. We refer to the guidelines of the GSB International, Qualicoat and Qualisteelcoat certifications. For further information: see also our special leaflet on pre-treatment (IGP-TI 100).

Coating devices
All conventional electrostatic systems with corona charging.
For the construction and operation of powder coating plants, the following regulations must be complied with: ATEX RL 2014/34/EU, EN 50177, DIN EN 16985.
Recommended film thickness
60 μm - 80 μm
To achieve a uniform finish with textured coatings, or where there are colour- or product-specific differences in hiding power, higher film thicknesses may be required. The relevant processing guidelines must be followed.
To estimate the quantity of powder coating required in advance, the necessary Film thickness must be determined on a product-by-product basis.
Curing conditions
T Object t min t max
160 °C 15 minutes 35 minutes
180 °C 10 minutes 25 minutes
200 °C 5 minutes 20 minutes
In order to determine ideal curing conditions, we recommend practical trials with the respective object and curing oven.
Application
For an optimal coating and surface quality, please refer to the effect category on the container label and the recommendations in the processing guideline VR201.2.
For fine-textured powders, please also refer to the recommendations in the processing guideline VR214.
Reclaimability
To prevent colour variations caused by loss of effect during coating, pearlescent mica products should be processed without reclaiming. In the case of automated coating with an appropriate batch size, a certain quantity of reclaimed powder may be added, depending on the shade’s categorisation. Please refer to the effect category on the container label and processing guideline VR201.1.

Overcoating suitability
Preliminary tests are mandatory for overcoating painted surfaces.
Printing and glueing
Preliminary tests are mandatory for printing and glueing of painted surfaces.
Protection of coated parts
Coated parts should be packed after cooling with suitable materials without plasticizers. They should be stored protected from the weather to avoid the formation of condensation and thus water spots on the coating.
Cleaning
The coated parts must be cleaned according to the directives RAL-GZ 632 or SZFF 61.01. Technical Information IGP-TI 106 must also be observed when dealing with pearl mica effects.
Paint removal and disposal
After use, coated goods should be supplied to the normal recycling process. The disposal methods for sludges or residual powders must be observed in accordance with the local official provisions whilst taking Waste Code “080201 Coating Powder Wastes” in accordance with the European Waste Catalogue into consideration.
