Because of the clear advantages of powder coatings (like having excellent protective properties and being solvent-free and storage stable), industry is keen on developing powder coatings that can be applied on these so-called heat-sensitive substrates (HSS). Powder coatings for these applications are often called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/Coatings\/search?k=%22low+temperature%20cure%22&amp;st=31\">low temperature cure<\/a> (LTC) powder coatings.<\/p>\n<p><b>The Challenge<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The key problem in developing and using LTC powder coatings is that two opposite demands must be met in one system.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9928\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 500px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9928\" src=\"https:\/\/ulprospector.ul.com\/media\/2016\/09\/Challenge-Heat-sensitive-substrates-1024x259.jpg\" alt=\"The challenge of LTC powder coatings: fulfilling two demands in one system.\" width=\"500\" height=\"126\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ulprospector.ul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Challenge-Heat-sensitive-substrates-1024x259.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ulprospector.ul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Challenge-Heat-sensitive-substrates-300x76.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ulprospector.ul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Challenge-Heat-sensitive-substrates-768x194.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ulprospector.ul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Challenge-Heat-sensitive-substrates.jpg 1310w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">The challenge of LTC powder coatings: fulfilling two demands in one system.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>First, the solid particles must melt and coalesce at temperatures that will not damage the substrate. For the heat-sensitive substrates mentioned, this is in the range of 110\u00b0C to 130\u00b0C. Also, the molten system must flow, level and fully cure at these mild temperatures.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, the powder paint must be storage-stable. The solid particles must not fuse together, and virtually no chemical reaction should take place within the particles at temperatures up to 40\u00b0C. The glass transition temperature (<b>T<\/b><b>g<\/b>) of the binder system of the powder paint must at least be 50\u00b0C to assure storage stability.<\/p>\n<p><b>The Core of LTC Powder Coating<\/b><\/p>\n<p>It became clear that breakthroughs had to be found with respect to the binder system of powder coatings\u2014consisting of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/Coatings\/Product\/search?k=Binders+%2f+Resins&amp;sug=1&amp;st=31\">resins<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/Coatings\/Product\/search?k=Crosslinkers+%2f+Chain+Extenders&amp;sug=1&amp;st=31\">crosslinkers<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/Coatings\/Product\/search?k=Additives&amp;sug=1&amp;st=31\">additives<\/a>\u2014to be able to meet the challenge of developing storage-stable systems that form a strong film at mild temperatures. One option is to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/Coatings\/search?k=%22radiation+curing%22&amp;st=31\">radiation-curing<\/a> powder coatings, systems that cure under the influence of ultraviolet (UV) or electron beam (EB) radiation. Another approach is to use heat to obtain good film formation.<\/p>\n<p><b>Unsaturated Polyester Resins<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/Coatings\/search?k=%22unsaturated+polyester%22&amp;st=31\">Unsaturated polyesters<\/a> contain carbon-carbon double bonds (<b>C=C<\/b>). The double bonds can crosslink during film formation. There are several ways to initiate this curing mechanism, called free radical polymerisation. The first option is to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/Coatings\/Product\/search?k=Photoinitiators&amp;sug=1&amp;st=31\">photoinitiators<\/a> that decompose under the influence of UV or EB radiation. Another option is to use thermal peroxides that decompose under the influence of heat.<\/p>\n<p><b>An Example<\/b><\/p>\n<p>At present, it is possible to use powder coating on heat-sensitive substrates like MDF and wood. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dsm.com\/markets\/paint\/en_US\/technologies\/technology-powder\/uralac-ultra.html\">Uralac\u00ae Ultra<\/a> technology was developed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/Coatings\/Suppliers\/574\/DSM-Coating-Resins--LLC\/search?sug=1&amp;st=31\">DSM Coating Resins<\/a>, a leading company in resins for powder coatings.2 The binder system, which cures thermally in three minutes at only 130\u00b0C under infrared radiation, is based on unsaturated polyester and a peroxide initiator.
