Thermoplastic Powder

thermoplastic powder in australia

Thermoplastic powder coating is a high-performance finishing process that melts under heat and solidifies upon cooling to protect functional surfaces. Because this process is entirely physical rather than chemical, the coating can be reheated, reshaped, and recycled multiple times. Typically applied through fluid bed dipping or electrostatic spraying, it forms a thick, resilient layer that provides seamless coverage over complex geometries, sharp edges, and welded joints.

  • Reversible Process: Unlike thermosetting powders, thermoplastic materials can be melted, cooled, and reheated multiple times without any chemical alteration.

  • Superior Protection: Delivers a thick, flexible barrier with exceptional resistance to impacts, abrasions, harsh chemicals, freezing temperatures, and UV exposure.

  • Excellent Coverage: Easily coats complex geometries, sharp edges, and welded joints via fluid bed dipping or electrostatic spraying.

  • Eco-Friendly & Functional: Contains zero Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), allows for powder recycling, provides electrical insulation, and offers a comfortable “warm-to-touch” finish.

  • NOTE: Use the same Spray gun to apply thermoplastic and thermosetting powder coating.

How to Apply?

Electrostatic Spray

The electrostatic spraying method attracts the coating material to the metal surface using an electrostatic charge. The powder is released from the spray gun and evenly distributed over the surface. A negative or positive electrostatic charge is applied to the surface, which allows the powder to adhere with high bonding strength.

Technical Advantages:

  • Uniform distribution: Thanks to the electrostatic charge, the coating material spreads evenly across the surface, minimizing thickness variations. This is ideal for achieving highly precise and smooth surfaces.
  • Low material loss: Powder particles not adhering to the surface are reused, minimizing material waste. This makes the process both economical and environmentally friendly.
  • Coating of complex surfaces: The electrostatic attraction effect ensures adequate coverage even for parts with recesses and protrusions.
  • Manual and automated usage: This method can be tailored for applications that need precise control in manual spraying as well as for large-scale automated production.
  • High efficiency: After polymerization, the coating dries quickly, forming an extremely durable surface.

This method is excellent for projects with high-quality requirements.

Fluidized bed

The fluidized bed method is a coating process based on immersion. The metal part to be coated is heated to a specified temperature and immersed in a layer of powder material suspended in a moving air flow. The heat causes the coating powder to melt on the surface and form a uniform layer.

Technical Advantages:

  • Ability to apply a thick coating: A single operation can create a thicker, and therefore more durable, protective coating.
  • Simple equipment and process: The method can be applied quickly and efficiently without the use of complex devices.
  • High coating application speed: This process, which is completed in a single immersion motion, saves significant time for large-scale production.
  • Suitable for internal surfaces: This method allows for easy coating of hollow parts’ inner surfaces and other hard-to-reach areas.
  • Thermal application capability: The part’s temperature plays a crucial role in adhesion and surface smoothness, improving application accuracy.

This method is preferred for projects requiring durability and coating thickness.

Flock Spray

The flock spray method involves applying the coating material to the surface using air pressure. The powder is dispersed over the surface at a wide spray angle, forming an even layer. This method is simpler since it does not require an electrostatic system.

Technical Advantages:

  • Uniform distribution: Thanks to the electrostatic charge, the coating material spreads evenly across the surface, minimizing thickness variations. This is ideal for achieving highly precise and smooth surfaces.
  • Low material loss: Powder particles not adhering to the surface are reused, minimizing material waste. This makes the process both economical and environmentally friendly.
  • Coating of complex surfaces: The electrostatic attraction effect ensures adequate coverage even for parts with recesses and protrusions.
  • Manual and automated usage: This method can be tailored for applications that need precise control in manual spraying as well as for large-scale automated production.
  • High efficiency: After polymerization, the coating dries quickly, forming an extremely durable surface.

This method is excellent for projects with high-quality requirements.

Flame Spray

The flame spraying method is based on melting the coating material with a flame source and spraying it onto the surface. This method offers mobility and is easy to implement in field conditions.

Technical Advantages:

  • Mobility: Since flame spraying equipment is portable, coating can be performed on-site.
  • Fast heating and curing: The material melts quickly with the flame and is applied to the surface in a short time.
  • Suitable for hard-to-reach areas: It effectively coats uneven surfaces and narrow areas.
  • Multilayer application: Multiple layers can be easily applied to the same surface for maximum protection.
  • Material and time efficiency: Flame spraying is suitable for covering large areas in a short time.

This method is ideal for quickly completing tasks in field conditions.

Extrusion

The extrusion method involves melting the coating material and applying it to the surface through a mold. This technology is ideal for precision coating applications and large-scale production.

Technical Advantages:

  • Precise thickness control: The thickness of the applied coating is accurately controlled.
  • Minimization of errors: The process can be fully automated, reducing human error to a minimum.
  • Uniform coating: Ensures an even coating over the entire surface, eliminating thickness variations.
  • High production speed: The process is easily integrated into mass production lines, saving time in large-scale projects.
  • Suitable for complex surface geometries: Thanks to molding systems, the method can be applied to parts of various shapes and sizes.

Extrusion is the ideal method for precision coating processes requiring high repeatability.

Roto-Lining

The roto-lining method applies the coating to internal surfaces using rotational movement and heat. This technology is preferred for coating the interior surfaces of large and complex structures.

Technical Advantages:

  • Uniform coating: Rotational movement ensures even material distribution, eliminating uncoated areas.
  • Coating of large parts: This process achieves excellent coating characteristics on sizeable internal surface areas such as tanks, reservoirs, and pipes.
  • Application flexibility: The method can be adapted to different surface geometries and sizes.
  • Resistance to chemical exposure and wear: The coating remains durable under harsh operating conditions.
  • Longevity: During rotation, the material firmly bonds to the surface, ensuring long-term protection.

Roto-lining method is an efficient solution for complex structures with large internal volumes.
