IR Efficiency Analysis in Thermoplastic Coating Films

Thermoplastic material is a plastic polymer material that becomes heat bendable or moldable at a certain temperature and solidifies after cooling. Thermoplasts, i.e. thermoplastic materials, are temperature-dependentIt gains elasticity, durability and ductility properties. Thermoplastic coating is a type of coating that does not react chemically during drying. The coating is fused to the substrate using heat. Thermoset coatings are usually available in powder form. The coating particles or the surface of the metal are first heated to the desired temperature. The ensuing cooling process causes the coating to harden and gain strength. One of the most defining characteristics of thermoplastic coatings is that they can be reheated, remelted and resolidified. Because thermoplastic coatings can be reheated without significant change in their composition or strength properties, they can be reprocessed and redistributed across the surface. This allows coating applicators to eliminate imperfections introduced during initial application. Non-thermoset coatings, on the other hand, burn when reheated and therefore cannot be reworked or reapplied.

Here are a few of the most common methods of applying thermoplastic coatings:

• Electrostatic spray application. Powder coating is electrically charged and is attracted to the surface of the metal. The dry film and coated material are then heated in an oven to allow the powder to melt and flow.
• Preheat spray application. The metal part is preheated and the powder coating is applied via a spray nozzle. The dry coating immediately melts and flows when it comes into contact with the heated surface.
• Fluidized bed application. Preheated parts are immersed in a fluidized thermoplastic powder-coated chamber. The powder coating is drawn to the heated surface and then fused. This method is also known as thermoplastic dip coating.

Infrared spectroscopy is spectroscopy that deals with the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum, that is, light with a longer wavelength and lower frequency than visible light. In advanced laboratories, analyzes are carried out to determine the infrared activity in thermoplastic coating films. Electrostatic powder paint is preferred to protect the product from corrosion in production, and infrared infrared powder paint baking oven is used for this.
