Curing (powder coating)

Powder coating curing is a process in which powder coating is applied to a surface and then cured at an elevated temperature to create a durable coating. The process begins with the preparation of the surface, which is cleaned and, if necessary, pre-treated to ensure optimum adhesion of the paint.

Once the surface has been prepared, the powder coating is applied. This is usually done by spraying or electrostatic application, resulting in an even coating. The paint adheres to the surface, with the powder providing the desired color and texture.

After application, the coated material is placed in an oven or a special curing chamber. There, the paint is melted and cured by heat. The exact temperature and duration of the curing process depends on various factors, including the paint material used and the type of surface to be coated.

During the stoving process, the fused powder melts into a smooth and uniform coating that provides excellent adhesion and resistance to mechanical stress, chemicals and weathering. The result is a durable and attractive surface that meets the requirements of a wide range of applications.
