Polyurethane primer STD-927

Surface Finish Options Overview

Product Description

The one-component primer can improve the surface condition of the base layer, making it flatter and smoother, providing a good foundation for the application of waterproof coatings. At the same time, the primer can also be more compatible with the waterproof coating and enhance the overall performance of the waterproof layer.

One-component primers usually contain special resin ingredients that can penetrate into the tiny pores of the base material to form a mechanical anchoring effect, thereby greatly enhancing the bonding strength between the waterproof coating and the base.

Typical performance

Features

Improve waterproof layer performance

Enhance the adhesion of the base

Application

Using a one-component primer before applying waterproof coatings can make the waterproof coating more evenly distributed on the surface of the base layer, forming a waterproof layer with consistent thickness and continuity, thus improving the waterproof effect and durability of the waterproof layer. For example, in roof waterproofing projects, after using a one-component primer to treat the base layer, the waterproof layer’s anti-seepage and anti-aging properties can be significantly improved.

This strong bond ensures that the waterproof layer is not easy to fall off when subjected to external forces (such as slight deformation of the base layer, stress caused by temperature changes, etc.), maintaining the integrity of the waterproof system. For example, after applying a single-component primer on a concrete base layer, the resin in the primer will fill the pores on the concrete surface, allowing the waterproof coating to better adhere to the base layer, avoiding problems such as hollowing and peeling in the later stage.

FAQ

1. What is Powder Coating?

Powder coating is a dry finishing process used to apply a protective and decorative coating on metal or other surfaces. Instead of using liquid paint, fine powder particles (usually made of polyester, epoxy, or hybrid resins) are electrostatically charged and sprayed onto a conductive surface. The coated object is then baked in an oven, where the powder melts, flows, and cures into a smooth, durable finish.

Key features:

Durable, hard finish

Resistant to scratches, corrosion, and UV

Environmentally friendly (no VOCs)

2. Benefits of Powder Coating

Powder coating offers several advantages over traditional liquid painting:

Durability: Resistant to chipping, scratching, fading, and wear.

Corrosion Protection: Provides excellent protection against rust and chemicals.

Environmentally Friendly: No volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and minimal waste.

Efficiency: Overspray can be collected and reused, up to 99% material utilization.

Uniform Finish: Smooth, even coating without runs or drips.

Cost-Effective: Single-coat systems can achieve high film thickness, reducing labor and energy.

Aesthetic Variety: Wide range of colors, textures, and effects.

3. What Temperature to Cure Powder Coating

The curing temperature depends on the type of powder used:

Epoxy powder: ~160–200°C (320–392°F)

Polyester powder: ~180–210°C (356–410°F)

Hybrid (Epoxy-Polyester) powder: ~180–200°C (356–392°F)

Typical curing time: 10–20 minutes depending on thickness and oven type.

Always follow the powder manufacturer’s specifications for best results.

4. Process for Powder Coating

The powder coating process usually follows these steps:

Surface Preparation:

Clean the surface thoroughly (remove oil, grease, rust, or dirt)

Methods: chemical cleaning, sandblasting, or phosphating

Pre-Treatment:

Apply a conversion coating or primer if needed to improve adhesion

Powder Application:

Spray the powder using an electrostatic spray gun or fluidized bed

Curing:

Bake the coated object in an oven at the recommended temperature for the powder type

The powder melts and forms a continuous, smooth film

Cooling & Inspection:

Let the coated item cool

Inspect for defects, uniform coverage, and desired thickness

5. How to Spray Powder Coat

Equipment Needed:

Electrostatic spray gun

Compressed air supply

Powder feed hopper or container

Grounding of the object

Steps:

Ground the object: Ensures the charged powder is attracted to the surface.

Spray evenly: Hold the gun 6–12 inches from the surface, moving in smooth, overlapping strokes.

Apply sufficient powder: Ensure full coverage without excessive buildup.

Cure immediately: Transfer the sprayed item to the curing oven to fuse the powder into a solid coating.

Tips:

Maintain consistent speed and distance while spraying.

Use proper ventilation to reduce airborne powder accumulation.

Test a small area to check film thickness and color before full application.
