POWDER COATING ‘98 Technical Program and Exhibitors Indiana Convention Center, Indianapolis, September 22-24

P CI’s first visit to Indianapolis two years ago was a great success. This September 22-24, PC1 re-

turns to Indy for POWDER COATING ‘98, heading for an even bigger confer- ence and show that promises to offer the quality programming and show floor that attendees have become accustomed to at PCI-sponsored events.

POWDER COATING ‘98 is PCI’s eighth conference and exhibition de- voted solely to powder coating. This is the place people come to from around the world to see the latest develop- ments in action, hear the latest i’rom industry experts, and interact with other finishing professionals to en- hance their own finishing operations.

The show floor is once again sold out, even with the addition of an adja- cent ballroom for exhibit overflow. More than 230 exhibitors will display the latest in powder coating materials, application equipment, and all the cup- plies and support systems needelf to operate a quality powder coating line. Attendees can see powder coatin,g in action, as many exhibitors will offer demonstrations throughout the wet-k.

Equally important is the POWDER COATING ‘98 conference program-a mixture of seminars, technical presen- tations, interactive workshops, and plant tours that is second to none. PC1 works very closely with speaker, to develop important, timely presenta- tions that go beyond the average con- ference program. Past attendees have consistently given high marks to Pow- der Coating Conference sessions. This year’s conference program continues PCI’s tradition of quality educational programming, offered at a cost well below other industry events.

Long-time PC1 traditions of after- noon receptions, a 5K Run/Walk ben- efiting PCI’s Scholarship Program, and prize give-aways will continue as well.

If you are interested in getting into powder coating, you’ll find everything you need to know at POWDER COAT-

ING ‘98. Likewise, if you have been powder coating, you won’t want to miss the latest developments that can help improve your process and offer answers to questions you may have.

TECHNICAL PROGRAM

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22 CONCURRENT SEMINARS

9 a.m.-Noon

I. In The Beginning . . . An Introduction to Powder Coating

Chris Merritt, ITW Gema; Steve Houston, Herbens-O’Brien Inc; Ron Cudzilo, Milbank Systems Inc.; Gary Hein, Great Western Chemical; Roger Cummings, H. B. Fuller Co.

Walter Cantcoat has a dilemma. His company stands to lose their biggest cus- tomer because they don’t have an in- house coating operation. Walter’s brlss demands that they install a finishing sys- tem immediately. While Walter tells his

boss that he knows everything there is to know about finishing systems, Walter really knows next to nothing. This sem- inar will give you a unique perspective on how Walter ultimately ends up with a powder coating system. Join us for this fun and interactive session to learn the process and terminology involved in this fast-paced growing market. This seminar also serves as a lead in to the Quality Control workshop as Walter later at- tempts to run a quality system. Learn about powder coating in a way never offered before.

II. Advanced Powder Coating

Sergey Guskov, Nordson Corp.; Jim Quinn, Ferro Corp.; John Favilla, BetzDearborn

This seminar is structured to provide an in-depth look at powder application and recovery, powder materials, and substrate pretreatment issues com- monly encountered by powder coaters. As an attendee, you’ll learn how to sustain optimal line performance while meeting expanding requirements to new and existing powder coating lines. Participants are encouraged to prepare questions for discussion during the seminar.

l-3 p.m.

Ill. Custom Coaters

Bill Kaufmann, Powder Finishers Inc.; Mike Cravens, Powder Coat Services

Time and again one of the biggest challenges facing custom coaters is job costing and accurate quoting. Cor- rectly quoting a job is dependent upon the information provided to the custom coater. Do you know how to get all the pertinent information you need to properly cost and quote jobs? You will after attending this seminar. With more than 36 years of experience in job shop operations and management Bill Kauf- mann and Mike Cravens will help you design a quote form that will enable you to get the right information needed to respond to request for quotes (RFQs). The seminar will close with an open roundtable discussion between attendees and the instructors. If im- proving job costing is on the top of your list, be sure to attend this seminar.

IV. Pretreatment

Sherrill Stoenner, Spray Booth Systems; Brad Gruss, Pretreatment & Process Inc.; John Reseland, Calgon Corp.

Pretreatment.. . the foundation of a great coating. This seminar will take an in-depth look into the design re- quirements needed for pretreatment chemicals; equipment needed for proper precleaning; and phosphating requirements for today’s finishing with a look toward meeting the needs of the future.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23 CONCURRENT TECHNICAL PRESENTATIONS

9 a.m.-Noon ‘Three tracks of technical presenta-

tions will take place at the same time. Choose the presentations that are most applicable to you and your finishing operations. There will be time between each presentation to allow you to change rooms if you wish. Exact times of presentations will appear in your final Conference & Show Directory to be distributed on-site.

TRACK I

1. The Big, the Bad, and the Bulky - Still Need a Finish

Duane Meek, Kinze Mfg. Co., and Tom Deimerly, Deimco Inc.

This paper profiles and compares two manufacturing companies who have converted to powder finishing systems. The sizes and dimensions of the items range up to 4,000 lb and cubic dimensions near 7 ft x 10 ft x 30 ft, making them noteworthy. The pro- duction requirements of each company provide a unique perspective to opera- tions considering powder as a replace- ment for existing liquid technology.

2. Advanced Durability Powder Coatings for Automotive and Architectural Applications

Phil Jones, Couttauids Coatings Inc.

Powder coatings are extensively em- ployed as a surface finish for aluminum components in the automotive and archi- tectural markets. They offer tough, cor- rosion-, and UV-resistant finishes. Pow-

16 METAL FINISHING . SEPTEMBER 1998

Page 3: Powder coating '98

der coating is increasingly the preferred finish for aluminum components in ap- plications where specifications have tra- ditionally required 12 months Florida durability. This paper will review the latest developments and focus on the growing world-wide track record of ad- vanced durability polyester powders.

3. Cyclone Systems for Powder Coating

Christopher M. So/is, Nordson Corp.

What factors go into the design of a cyclone system for powder coating? More than you would expect. It is a straightforward effort to put together a system that will work. Balancing all of the factors to build an optimal system has tradeoffs. One side of the balance has potential benefits like high recovery efficiency and cleanability. On the other side you have detriments like molar power and system size. Making your choices depends on the intended use of the booth system. This presentation will show how user characteristics in differ- ent markets around the world drive these tradeoffs and why a system that is right for one part of the world may not be well received elsewhere.

4. Powder Coating Blanks - What, Where, and How

Wade Ficklin, George Koch Sons, Inc.

The benefits of powder coated blanks will be reviewed in this case history success story. Lower costs, higher quality, and production will be discussed. Actual costs to operate with 3-D and coil coating comparison will be included.

5. Making the Switch - Converting from Liquid to Powder Coating

Nick Liberto, Powder Coating Consultants

Potential powder coating end users need to evaluate their requirements in terms of specifying powder coating equipment that is “right-sized” for their particular application. This paper will educate end users in the methods used to relate production and quality demands into a powder coating process specification. Conversion candidates will be shown how to calculate typical

operation cost savings, normally attrib- uted to the powder coating process.

TRACK II

6. Thinner Films and Low Temperature Cure Products Can Make a Difference

Todd Rainey, Spray/at Corp. Thin film powders are now available

from 0.5 mil depending upon the chemistry and color. This brings the possibility of a dramatic cost-per-part savings to an efficient coater; however, to realize those savings, an understand- ing of the limitations and potential downfalls must be realized. Low cure powders are available as low as 250°F for 15 min P.M.T. We’ll discuss the benefits of heat-sensitive substrates, higher line speed, and reduced energy costs associated with these powders.

7. New Trends in Pretreatment for Powder Coatings

William E. Fristad, Henkel Surface Technologies

The excellent corrosion perfor- mance afforded to powder coating to- day is in large degree possible because of the metal surface treatments used to prepare the substrates prior to painting. The rapid growth and new applications of powder coating use in the industrial markets have stimulated pretreatment development efforts to help resolve some needed improvements. The de- velopment of pretreatment products and processes that complement the use of powder coating has been focused on improved performance with the use of environmentally friendly products and fewer process stages. This presentation will compare past and present perfor- mance data with new developments proposed in the areas of metal surface treatments prior to powder coating.

8. National Seating - Transitioning from Conventional Corona Guns to Tribo Disk

Mike Saunders, National Seating, and John J. Binder, Nordson Corp.

National Seating, a manyfacturer of air cushioned seats for commercial trucks and tour buses, began powder coating in September of 1991 with conventional corona charging applica- tion equipment. In an effort to expand

their existing powder coating capabil- ities they started to consider the pur- chase of an additional powder system in the Spring of 1997. This paper will take a look at National Seating’s tran- sition from conventional corona charg- ing equipment to tribo disk technology.

9. Air Management for Powder Coating Systems

Rodger Talbert, R. Talbert Consulting

Many times, powder systems are in- stalled without regard for proper air management. The booth won’t contain powder, the powder doesn’t flow smoothly from the gun, workers are cold in the load area and hot in the application area, smoke rolls out of the oven, and energy costs are too high. Do any of these apply to you? For peak efficiency, it is important to manage air volume, air velocity, direction of airflow, tempera- ture, and humidity to get the highest possible yield from a powder coating system. By the time you leave this ses- sion, you will know how to manage the powder coating environment.

10. UV-Curable Powder Coatings: Applications and Benefits

Paul Mills, Nutro Corp. This presentation will describe both

the current laboratory development and commercial experience with UV cure powder coatings turning attention to the mosl. likely applications for this emerging technology. Two main cate- gories of a:pplication will be included: those where powder coating has not yet been possible (i.e., plastics, wood, alloys, and other heat sensitive parts) and those applications where UV may offer an alternative to existing thermo- set powder coatings (i.e., massive parts, rapid cure). This paper will ex- amine the anticipated benefits to end users with regard to coating cost, en- ergy consumption, production speed, and floor space requirements.

growth. Sophisticated users now chal- lenge powder manufacturers to de- velop application efficient coalings and unique powders that deliver hard cost savings. This paper will review these developments and summarize new powder options.

12. A Practical Look at Maximizing the Transfer Efficiency of Powder onto the Workpiece

Mike Thies, ITW Gema More and more end users are look-

ing at the operational costs of their finishing processes and wanting to know how to control these costs. One area in which to concentrate is the ability to maximize coverage 01‘ the products coated and be able to min- imize the amount of powder material consumed. Transfer efficiency is the industry term used to define the amount of powder applied compared to the amount sprayed. Many users do not understand how transfer effi- ciency affects their bottom line. This presentation will take a practical look at the theoretical side of corona charging and transfer efficiency and provide ideas that can increase the transfer efficiency process.

13. In-Process Oven Temperature Profiling . . . Finish Quality Guaranteed

Steve Offley & David Hulsey, Da tapaq Inc.

This paper will review a temperature profiling system developed to meet the demands of the powder coating indus- try. Data to be presented will illustrate how all the product temperature iafor- mation required to both optimize and control an oven process can be pro- vided. Employing such information will demonstrate how product quality can be ensured, efficiency of the cure process optimized, and fully traceable process data obtained to achieve IS0 9000 certification.

14. Why in the World Do I Need a PLC for My Powder System?

Glenn Stribling, ITW Gema, and Loren Keene and Jerry Trestle, Spray Booth Systems

The use of programmable logic

controllers (PLCs) is becoming more popular with many users of powder coatings. But a large portion of the industry is not using automated con- trols to improve upon the efficiency of their systems. Many users do not understand the real value of having powder guns turn on and off, or the value of powder guns moving in and out. To get a better understanding, this presentation will review the CB- pabilities of a PLC, some important do’s and don’ts. as well as how to evaluate the value received against the capital expense required.

15. Powder on Wood: It’s Here to Stay

R. Curtis Leach, Thermal lnnova tions Corp.

This case history will take a look at a complete system for high-quality of- fice furniture utilizing powder coating on medium density fiber board. Key benefits will be explained, which in- clude lower cost and higher quality over previous waterborne paint sys- tems.
