Coating technique

Powder coatings are formed of powdery compositions based on synthetic film-forming polymers and technological additives in solid and liquid phases. The methods of powder coating application analyzed from the viewpoint of monitoring Cl concentration on a given coating area are presented below. 

Agglomeration can also be applied for coating. The technology used for this task is tumble agglomeration (Section 4.2.1). As discussed earlier (Section 4.2.1.2), 

Nuclei are typically agglomerates themselves. The largest applications are in the pharmaceutical and food industries where uniformity of size and shape as well as customer appeal are very important. The most common nuclei are, therefore, tabletted (see Section 4.2.2.3) or spheronized (see Section 4.2.2.6.8) particles. 

Additionally, Caster and Walls [57] described the surface modification of multifilament fibers such as nylon or Kevlar. Both coating techniques used preformed ROMP-based polymers and the contact metathesis polymerization (CMP) process initially described by Grubbs and Klavetter [58], The latter comprised a procedure in which the initiator was physisorbed onto the surface of a substrate and fed with a ROMP-active monomer that finally encapsulated the substrate. Such modified fibers showed improved adhesion to natural rubber elastomers. 

More recently, coating techniques were also developed to create Pd-derived supports, which provided a simpler approach to be put into use compared to grafting techniques. The use of poly(Af,M-di(pyrid-2-yl)norborn-2-ene-5-yl-carbamide) and H2PdCl4 coatings on monolithic media has been shown to 

Stiff blades are more commonly used in North America, while bent blades are more widely used in Europe. 

It is apparent that the various coating methods place different demands on the rheological properties of the coating color. These requirements must be taken into account when formulating a coating color for a particular application. 

Quantitatively, pigments are the principal constituent of any coating color, binders being used in relatively small amounts. For every 100 parts pigment, there are typically about 5-20 parts binder and 0.1-3 parts of other additives. Coating color compositions common in both North America and Europe for sheet-fed offset and rotogravure printing processes are listed in Tab. 4-2. 

The quantities given here always refer to the amount of active ingredient required. 

A more detailed description of the constituents of a coating color is presented in Sects 4.4.2-4.4.4.

Hot Dip Tin Coating of Steel and Cast Iron. Hot dipping of tin [7440-31 -5] has been largely superseded by electrolytic coating techniques, especially for sheet. However, hot dipping can be the method of choice for complex and shaped parts. Very thin layers of tin are extensively used to passivate steel used for canned goods. Tin is essentially nontoxic, is nearly insoluble in almost all foods, and easily wets and completely covers steel with a pinhole-free coating.

Dip and Spin Coating. The dip coating technique described for webs can also be used to coat discrete surfaces such as toys and automotive parts. The surface to be coated is suspended on a conveyor and the part dipped into the coating solution. The surface is then removed, the coating drains, then levels to give the desired coverage. The object is then dried or cured in an oven. 

The need to identify replacements for chromate-based technologies has also resulted in the development of alternatives to resin-based corrosion-inhibiting primers. These are primarily inorganic barrier coating techniques, such as sol-gel processes, which may or may not include corrosion inhibitors. These are discussed in a later section.

Several coating techniques are now available to overcome the oxidation problems with molybdenum above 300°C. One of these, based on molybdenum disilicide, is finding increased usage in flame breakout shields for aero-engines where tests have shown (unpublished work) that the coated material can withstand a high pressure torching type flame attack at temperatures in excess of 2(X)0°C. 

New coating techniques in commercial use are mechanical coating (now incorporated under plating in Table 13.7) and adhesive-bonded or vapour-deposited coatings, although each of these represents less than 1% of the zinc coatings used. 

Even more widely used are a variety of roller-coating techniques. In forward roller coating a controlled amount of paint is metered onto the surface of a rubber or gelatine roller rotating such that, at its point of contact with the sheet or web, roller and sheet are moving in the same (forward) direction. Even finer control of thin coatings is obtained if the paint is transferred from gravure cells onto the application roller. 

The coating technique starts by applying a solvent-based adhesive on to a previously pretreated metal substrate. The item is then preheated to 200-250°C, the exact time and temperature depending on the metal thickness. It is then dipped in the plastisol which partly gels owing to the... 

The fluidised bed coating technique is used extensively for wirework items such as dish drainer racks, vegetable racks, office trays etc. The technique is also widely used for street furniture e.g. metal lampposts, signposts and balustrading, and for metal office furniture and domestic garden furniture. It also provides chemical corrosion resistance on valves, pipes, couplings etc. 

Cascade coating The cascade coating technique is used extensively for the external coating of metal pipes with polyethylene to convey natural gas throughout Europe. There are several ways of using this technique but in all cases the pipe is evenly heated to a surface temperature of 250-350°C. Powder is then poured from above, cascaded , onto the rotating pipe. A second heating operation may be necessary to completely fuse the powder. 

Miscellaneous powder coating methods Apart from the coating techniques described briefly above, the jobbing or custom coater has a whole armoury of other methods which are more or less related to those described above. 

There are different coating techniques. The woven and nonwoven fabrics normally involves three steps as it passes from the unwind roll to the rewind roll. Powder is metered onto the fabric, heated in an oven (gas or electric) that are usually divided into several heating zones, and cooled by a chill roll. 

Metal exposure is a critical factor in color retention of most azo dye formulations. However, improved coating techniques have made it possible to attain the desired shelf life of products colored with azo dyes.

The rqjroducibility of polymer film formation is greatly improved by the spin coating technique where the polymer solution is applied by a microsyringe onto the center of a rapidly rotated disk electrode Rather thick films can be produced by repeated application of small volumes of stock solution.

In this chapter, a brief introduction will be given mainly to the DEC, CNx, multilayer films and nano-composite coatings. Detailed and comprehensive introduction of the conventional thin solid coating technique is not the objective of this chapter. Readers are referred to relevant publications to attain the knowledge in this area.
