A cured part is what everyone expects from a powder coating process. We all understand it is time and temperature, right? The technical data sheet for the powder is the recipe, right? Is it really just that simple? On some lines, some parts and even some powders cure however can be challenging. Finding out days or even months later that a part didn’t pass cure in a quality check is not the way you want to learn that you have a process problem.

How are you verifying an acceptable cure? How often? How is your environment affecting your cure? Could you be wasting energy by overcuring? If you are a job shops with constantly changing parts or processing heavy weldments, optimizing cure productivity while not sacrificing quality is the goal. It is sometimes a challenge. This webinar will discuss the cure process from powder formulation and their impact, how the cure process actually happens, convection and infrared ovens and the use of boosts and how each type affects cure as well as some best practices and some tricks to help you ensure your ideal cure.
