Sometimes it’s hard to get the exact protection your parts need. We precisely adjust coating thickness to suit your application, offering everything from thin layers to robust, heavy-duty protection.
At Plastonics, we use a precise fluidized bed method to guarantee the best results for your parts. This process offers outstanding adhesion and a smooth, consistent finish, even on complex shapes.
The metal part to be coated is preheated, ensuring that it is at the ideal temperature for powder adhesion. The part is typically heated to a temperature that activates the powder, allowing it to bond perfectly upon immersion.
The preheated part is immersed in a tank filled with aerated powder. The powder particles become suspended in the fluid-like bath, allowing for a uniform coating to adhere to the part’s surface. The particles fuse into a continuous coating, forming a protective barrier.
As the powder particles melt due to the heat of the preheated part, they fuse together to create a smooth, even layer. The result is a durable and uniform finish that bonds directly to the surface.
The typical thickness for fluid bed powder coating ranges from .007” to .015”. However, if additional layers are needed, heavier thicknesses can be applied to meet the specific requirements of your project.
Once the coating has fully fused, the part is allowed to cool. After cooling, each part undergoes a thorough inspection to ensure an even, flawless coating with the proper thickness and adhesion.
Plastonics offers fluid bed ovens available in various sizes to accommodate your specific project needs. Our largest oven opening measures 24”W x 24”H, ensuring we can handle a wide variety of part sizes and configurations. In addition, our largest fluidized bed tank is 96” x 12” x 24”, allowing us to coat larger or more complex parts with ease.
At Plastonics, we combine decades of experience with cutting-edge technology to provide fluid bed powder coating solutions that meet the highest standards of performance and durability.
Whether you need functional coatings for industrial machinery or enhanced protection for automotive parts, our team can tailor the solution to meet your exact specifications.
