Low-temperature-cure technology unlocks opportunities for expanding applications, energy efficiency, and smaller operational footprint.
Powder coatings have been around for decades. Early commercial versions emerged in the 1960s and 1970s; however, the industry did not gain momentum until the late 1980s and 1990s. This technology is dominated by thermosets, but thermoplastics represent an important niche with an approximate 5% market share. Radiation curable varieties emerged in the mid-1990s as a unique intersection of solid powder with ultraviolet curing binders capable of curing at temperatures as low as 212°F (100°C). Powder coatings represent about 17% of the global industrial coatings market with nearly $14 billion in annual sales and an estimated CAGR of 4.3%. Historically, most powder coating chemistries required relatively high curing temperatures ranging from 350–400°F (177–204°C) for 5–20 minutes (substrate temperature). Lower-temperature curing chemistries emerged in the 1990s and are becoming commonplace. The following will present compelling reasons for the use of low-temperature-cure powders and identify which end uses can benefit with their use. State-of-the-art binder technologies will be presented, along with the unique application and curing techniques required to utilize them. And finally, we’ll glimpse into the future to glean where the latest low-temperature-cure powders will emerge commercially.
