WLDNESDAY. SEP’IEMBER 25
8:30-II:30 a.m.-Three concurrent tracks of papers
TFMCK I
Selecting the Right Powder Speakers: Pat Hendrick, Morton Powder Coating; Rodger Talbert, Talbert Consulting
This presentation will explore the attributes of powder materials that affect performance, appear- ance, ease of application, and cost. Many companies base their selec- tion of a powder material on cost per unit (dollars per pound). Coating material usage has a big impact on profit so the cost of the material is certainly important. But the cost per unit is only a por- tion of the equation in calculating the cost of coating material usage. The real cost of powder is the cost per applied square foot. The best powder material is one that is easy to apply on challenging sur- faces and provides the necessary performance requirements at a reasonable cost.
40 Metal Finishing
A Kaleidoscope of Color Speaker: Alan Pekarik, Interpon Powder Coatings
As colors become more prevalent in powder coating, this paper will address the issues of color selec- tion and color matching. It will include comparisons of how color, gloss range, and texture type can impact overall powder perform- ance and cost. In addition, a thor- ough understanding of color consis- tency and aging will be presented as it relates to customer color stan- dards. Color evaluation based on RAL standards and British Color Tiles will be discussed as they relate to customer color standards. The color matching processes will also be reviewed.
Kentwood Powder Coating Case Study
Speakers: Bill Andro, Kentwood Powder Coating
Written and presented by Kentwood I’owder coating, this paper highlights how a job shop uses color change flexibility to max- imize their custom coating busi- ness. It will include Kentwood’s evolution in powder coating equip- ment since installing their first powder line over 20 years ago. This case study will also show how fast color change gives Kentwood a ‘competitive edge.
As powder coatings gain a greater share of the industrial coatings market, the demand to produce spe- cialty finishes has increased. One of the leading specialty finishes is
“metallics” to produce metallic, sparkle, pearlescent, and glitter appearances. This paper addresses the methods of manufacturing these types of powder coatings and the advantages and disadvantages of each method.
The Role of Thermoplastic Coatings for Metal Protection and Corrosion Prevention Speaker: Patrick Benson, Plascoat Systems Ltd.
This paper describes the advan- tages of thermoplastic powder coat- ings and gives details of their appli- cations. While thermoplastic coatings have been available for over 40 years, they have traditionally been applied by the fluidized bed process. More recently, thermoplastic powders have been developed for application by electrostatic spraying. Thermoplastic

coatings can provide a very long-term protective layer to metal, which is vir- tually unafkected for many years by the actions of salt, pollution, or adverse climatic conditions.
TRACK II
Powder on MDF-A and Market Analysis Speaker: John Binder, Corp.
Process
Nordson
The primary goal of the powder development effort for medium
density fiberboard (MDF) and wood has been to provide a powder coating process that does not com- promise end-user expectations for hardness, durability, moisture resistance, color, and luster. Aggressive development of both thermoset and W-curable pow- ders reflects an understanding of the commercial potential. The majority of interest at this time is primarily from engineered wood product manufacturers of kitchen cabinets, ready-to-assemble furni-
ture, and high-end office furniture. In comparison with natural grain woods, the MDF and HDF mar- kets appear to have the most potential for growth. Due to the benefit of a homogeneous struc- ture, MDF is an ideal substrate for powder coating, resulting in a high-quality finish that has been achieved both in practice and pro- duction. This portion of the wood coating market easily has the potential to be as large as today’s metal coating market.
Development of W Cured Powders on Heat Sensitive Substrates Speaker: Michael Knoblauch, Decorative Veneer Inc.
The purpose of this paper is to describe W-cure powder applica- tions and market potentials for MDF as well as other types of sub- strates. Decorative Veneer Inc. oper- ates a commerical W-cured powder system in North America. They apply W-cured powder on MDF with excellent results and market acceptance. They supply powder coated products to various markets within the furniture industry Additionally, they have experiment- ed with and tested a number of other substrates, including card- board, plastics, and composites.
Manual powder coating is widely used in many industries. For many operators formal training that con- centrates on the specific challenges of manual or batch booth operations may not be provided. Furthermore, large training classes tend to spend more time emphasizing system and automated spraying issues. Correct spraying techniques are critical to successful powder coating applica- tions and your business bottom line. This presentation will review basic and advanced coating techniques

that can be used on all brands of manual powder guns. Topics will include overspray powder, control- ling heavy film build, and overcom- ing penetration problems.
Water Treatment Options for Efficiency & Compliance Speaker: Jeff Watson, Custom Chemicals of Texas
This paper will discuss the effi- ciencies and applications of the various water and wastewater technologies available to powder coating users. Specific focus will be on the differences and applica- bility of physical and chemical methods of water purification. The efficiencies, options, and pit- falls of water reuse, capital costs, and cost of operation will be pre- sented so that an intelligent cost justification can be made on proj- ects involving these technologies.
Cost R42ductions in Pretreatment Systems-Theory and F’ractice Speaker: Gary Kent, Henkel Surface Technologies
The pretreatment system used ahead of powder painting consists of several interrelated steps. There are many opportunities for cost reductions in this overall process. Several new and unique methods to optimize the value of your pretreatment process will be presented. Theoretical models of pretreatment processes used in the development stages will be dis- cussed along with the commercial results observed as modifications were made to actual production lines.
TRACK III
Energy Efficiency in Cure Oven Design Speaker: John Stuck, PE., Milbank Systems Inc.
With the recent spike in natural gas prices, operating costs of cur- ing ovens have again become a
It’s not an uncommon dilemma: The water pretreatment
interferes with the process which interferes with the waste
treqtment which interferes with the reuse plan. DMP can _’

neither all infrared nor convection ovens are created equal.
Managing a Powder Coating Line for Optimal Cost Effiency Speaker: Marty Korecky, Morton Powder Coatings
Today more than ever, it is important for businesses to be able to increase production while keep- ing production costs to a mini- mum. This discussion will focus on how those who manage powder finishing systems can get the most out of their coating lines. The dis- cussion will focus on the interac- tive effects of increasing line speed and/or increasing line density on the coating process and the quali- ty of the finished parts.
Cool Cash at Friedrich Air Conditioning: Converting
from Liquid to Powder Speakers: Michael Streepey, Nordson Corp.; Jeff Bailey, Friedrich Air Conditioning
This paper will discuss a case study on the conversion from liq- uid to powder. Friedrich Air Conditioning, a manufacturer of air conditioning products, needed to convert from liquid to powder for their finishing needs. This case study will review the four problem areas with Friedrich’s old finishing system and the out- come of converting from liquid to powder.

Quality Control isn’t an option when it comes to running a suc- cessful powder coating shop. Many powder finishing compa- nies have found themselves tied up in litigation because of prema- ture field failures and have no defense, simply because they have no documented quality sys- tems in place. The fact is, compa- nies with adequate quality sys- tems avoid litigation due to poor quality. The experiences of these companies are lessons for all that “Quality Saves Money.” Examples of catastrophic field failures and how they could have been pre- vented will be discussed. A close look at what can be done in your plant to improve quality, reduce rejects, reduce cost, and minimize risk, regardless of the size of your finishing operation.
