Lower the carbon footprint and minimize costs with low temperature powder coatings

Minimizing the energy output needed to cure powder coating not only minimizes the carbon footprint of using these products, but cuts down on operational costs. Today, most reputable resin brands deliver products that can minimize the average cure times of 15 – 20 minutes at temperatures of 190oC – 200oC to 10 -15 minutes at temperatures of 150oC – 160oC. This is obviously more energy-efficient and gives the possibility of using the end of a greater number of materials that do not resist high temperatures.

For instance, AkzoNobel’s Interpon Low-E Polyester powder coating line’s recommended bake temperatures lie between 150oC – 170oC and take 8 – 40 minutes to cure without trading off quality or its properties.

Using this line of powder coats, you will be able to significantly minimize your paint facility’s overall energy consumption and boost the productivity of your powder coating application processes. In turn, this will enable you to reduce your operational costs and your shop’s environmental footprint.
