Simply Engineered For The 21st Century

Preparation and Coating,
To start the powder coating process, raw aluminum surfaces receive traditional pretreatment of chemical conversions, which creates thin layers of amorphous oxide with a coating.

The next step in Decoral's powder coat process: Electrostatic guns are then utilized to apply a 2.5 mils layer of powder paint (nonhazardous). Utilizing a 400°F temperature for up to 30 minutes, Polymerization is then performed. The applied base coat is conducive to creating sufficient hardness on the finalized product. Moreover, it protects aluminum against factors such as weather, corrosion, abrasion, light and humidity.

Decoration
In the next stage of the powder coating process, a preprinted film transfer (containing organic photosensitive pigments and cellulose resin) is wrapped around the product, which is set on the surface of a trolley. Using a vacuum suction system, air is then removed, resulting in a perfect thermo print.

The trolley is inserted into a specialized oven, affecting the decoration by converting ink pigments from solid, into gas and back again to solid within the paint layer. In the last step of the powder coat process, the film is removed once it has cooled. Combined with additional breakthrough technologies we've pioneered, this powder coating process demonstrates why Decoral Systems is a worldwide leader in color powder coating quality.
