727-572-4474Low Temperature Cure Polyester Powder Coating
View / Download PDF Data Sheet
Low Temperature Cure / Super-Durable Polyester powder coatings are used when a reduction in energy consumption is desired. They are also suitable for coating temperature-sensitive substrates or assembled parts with component temperature limitations. Standard powder coating spray guns are used to apply the coatings, and convection curing ovens are normally used to cure these coatings. Automotive-grade pigments are used for color development.
Some Intended Uses Include:
Aluminum military and aerospace equipment, preassembled
appliances, assembled parts with component
temperature limitations, heat sensitive plastics, in curing
ovens with lower temperature capabilities, for much
faster curing in normal powder coating curing ovens,
etc..

Customer Line Surveys:
Crosslink Powder Coatings can tailor these products to your coating line. To do so, our skilled associates must perform a coating line survey, to include monitoring of the oven times and temperatures. Please advise if you would like this service.
Storage Stability:
The maximum storage temperature for this coating is 75° F at 50% Relative Humidity. Refrigerated shipping is required when the ambient temperature exceeds 75° F. Under these conditions, the shelf-life is 12 months.
Precautions:
All dusts are respiratory irritants. The coating area must be properly ventilated and oven air exhausted to the outside environment. If skin contact occurs, immediately wash with mild, soapy water. If eye contact occurs, flush with water immediately and secure medical attention. Dust clouds of any finely divided organic material can be ignited by electrical sparks or open flames. All equipment must be electrically grounded to preclude buildup of static electricity. Dust collection equipment must be provided for adequate exhaust of dust-laden air.
