The next step is the electrostatic application of the powder to the part. The powder is charged by an electrode which creates an ion cloud. The powder particles pass through this cloud and picks up a negative charge. The parts now enter the curing oven where the powder melts, cross links, and bonds to the surface of the part. Once the parts exit the oven and cool the finish is complete.
Powder is available in a wide variety of formulations, textures, gloss levels, and colors.
Depending on the performance criteria of your specific parts, Spartan Microlights Inc. can help you pick the proper formulation for your application. Virtually any color, texture, and gloss level can be custom matched. Due to the process involved in manufacturing the powder resin, custom colors can be expensive unless the requirement is large. Typical lead times for custom matches can range anywhere from two to six weeks depending on market conditions. Spartan Microlights Inc. Sub is to complete your product and have it ready for shipment.
