Definitions

  • Powder paints are up to now used almost exclusively in industrial plants as they need cumbersome static equipment such as baking ovens and application booths.
  • thermoplastic powder paints In order to remove these limitations flame guns were recently made available, allowing to apply thermoplastic powder paints in an open atmosphere through an annular flame which melts the projected powder paint.
  • the molten paint deposits on a support, but the presence of the flame limits its use only to thermoplastic paints of high molecular weight.
  • thermoplastic paints of high molecular weight In order to remove these limitations flame guns were recently made available, allowing to apply thermoplastic powder paints in an open atmosphere through an annular flame which melts the projected powder paint.
  • the molten paint deposits on a support, but the presence of the flame limits its use only to thermoplastic paints of high molecular weight.
  • to avoid combustion of the deposited molten paint it is necessary to move continuously and rapidly the point of projection of the flame.
  • heat guns comprising glue sticks pressed against a heated nozzle that melts them, allowing only their spreading.
  • hot air dryers are available on the market, that are used for packaging articles with shrinkable films.
  • a gun for projecting powder and a hot air dryer were designed in such a way that the outgoing hot air envelopped the gun no.zzle, thus the powder was deposited in a partially molten condition. Then temperature of the dryer was increased until the projected powder was deposited in a molten condition and thereafter discontinuing delivery of powder it was possible to crosslink it.
  • the method of the present invention consists of the use of at least one equipment comprising at least one gun for spraying the powdered paint or glue and at least one dryer for delivering hot air with variable temperature and output, possibly with a single nozzle so that the gun and dryer may be used contemporaneously or alternately according to the need.
  • the method allows the application of any meltable powdered composition or thermoplastic or thermosetting polymer on any kind of support or surface.
  • the powdered product to be applied may be projected in powder form from an adjustable close distance and can deposit on a surface in a molten or powdered condition.
  • the polymer can be melted and cross-linked by heat using the dryer part.
  • the dryer can first be used to preheat the surface on which the powdered polymer is applied with the gun and then is melted during or after said application.
  • the equipment As the equipment has a reduced size, it may be used as a single unit or a set of units, it may be movable or fixed, and it allows to paint either static or large surfaces, or small surfaces even for retouching purposes, by applying the paint melted at a temperature lower than the cross-linking.
  • paint thermally sensitive supports or to apply a powdered photohardenable paint, melting it and subjecting the applied film to UV radiation when it is still hot or after cooling.
  • thermosetting powder paints which are caused to melt and expand, controlling that they are perfectly spread and faultless, and subsequently they can be thermoset at any desired time and with any heat source such as hot air, flame, IR ovens, EB and so forth.
  • a hybrid polyester-epoxy powder paint comprising:
  • TiO 2 290 was sprayed in a molten condition on a steel sheet having a size of 6 xl5 cm coating it uniformly with a layer about 60 ⁇ thick, then stopping spraying and at the same time raising the air temperature to about 500°C, only hot air is projected for 2 minutes to obtain cross-linking.
  • the steel sheet is then subjected to analysis tests by comparing it with a sheet painted in the traditional way and hardened in an oven at 180°C for 20 minutes and it results in being equal to the standard sample.
  • hot air can be used to melt and harden a thermosetting powdered paint
  • the same paint was applied with the gun only on a sheet and then the dryer was used with a hot air output lowered to 500 foot/min, reducing the air inlet opening to avoid that the deposited paint is removed and with the temperature adjusted to 200°C the deposited paint melted and expanded. After fusion, the output was raised to 2,000 foot/min, the temperature to 400°C and this condition was held for 3 minutes. Also this steel sheet resulted in hardening like that hardened in an oven at 180°C for 20 minutes.
  • Example 2 Following the same procedure of Example 1 a polyester-polyurethane powder paint is deposited, consisting of:
  • UV Stabilizer 30 was sprayed in a molten condition on two steel sheets.
  • a transparent UN hardenable powder paint consisting of:
  • Degassing agent 3 was projected in a molten condition on two small wooden boards, coating them with a layer about lOO ⁇ thick, then one board was subjected with the still molten paint to UV radiation for 30 seconds, while the other board was cooled and after some days subjected with the applied cold paint to the same radiation but for one minute and surprisingly also the second board, when subjected to the acetone soaked cotten flock test, passed 100 back and forth rubs.
  • Thermoplastic powdered paint for traffic signs consisting of 600 parts of Mowilith
  • 35-73 (vinylacetate - maleate - Hoechst AG), 300 parts of Blanc fixe and 100 parts of titanium dioxide, was applied in a molten condition on asphalt using a special equipment provided with spraying gun and dryed with no.zzle positioned at 5-10 cm from the soil and mounted on a mobile carriage provided with compressor and power generator.
  • the output of hot air from the dryer is rased to 2200 foot/min and at a temperature of 700°C.
  • This p ⁇ tint was applied at a speed of 7-10 km/hour and five minutes after application and cooling it was subjected to tests of adhesion and abrasion resistance, largely passing the required specification, as it resulted perfectly adherent and wear resistant.
