Stoving enamels

Stoving enamels, also known as powder coatings, are a widespread form of surface coating that is used in various industries. This coating process is characterized by its efficiency, environmental friendliness and versatility.

Stoving enamels are applied to the surface to be coated in powder form. The powder particles consist of polymer resins, pigments and additives. This powder is applied electrostatically to the workpiece, causing the particles to spread evenly and attract each other electrostatically.

After application, the curing process takes place. The workpiece is placed in an oven where the powder melts and forms a homogeneous coating on the surface. The melting process allows the coating to be evenly distributed, resulting in a smooth and durable surface.

Stoving enamels offer several advantages. Firstly, they are environmentally friendly as, unlike traditional paints, they do not release any volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Secondly, they are economical because excess powder can be reused, which minimizes material consumption. Thirdly, the stoving technique results in high resistance to chemicals, weathering and mechanical stress.

This coating process is used in various applications, from the automotive industry to furniture manufacturing and household appliances. Stoving enamels help to protect surfaces, create aesthetically pleasing finishes and provide sustainable coating solutions.
