Lamp powder coating

Industry knowledge

What is the curing temperature and time of powder coating on lamps? Is it suitable for different types of lamps and curing equipment?

The curing of powder coating is the process of converting the coating from liquid or powder to solid film. Temperature and time are key parameters in this process. For lamps, ideal curing conditions need to ensure that the coating is fully cured and achieves the expected physical and chemical properties, while avoiding damage or deformation of the internal electronic components of the lamp.
Based on its advanced R&D capabilities and quality control system, the lamp powder coatings produced by our company usually recommend curing conditions including: curing at 200°C for 10 minutes or curing at 180°C for 15 minutes. These parameters provide a basic guide range, but in fact, the best curing conditions need to be adjusted according to the specific coating formulation, lamp material, coating thickness and required performance requirements. For example, some high-end lamps may require higher weather resistance or more sophisticated appearance effects, and then the curing temperature and time may need to be fine-tuned to achieve the best balance.
It is worth noting that our company has the ability to customize coating formulations according to customer-specific needs, which means that curing conditions can also be flexibly adjusted to suit different types of lamps and their production processes. In addition, our company uses advanced testing equipment, such as SHIMADZU XRF for component analysis, Mastersizer 3000E for particle size distribution testing, and Datacolor 400 for color matching, to ensure the consistency and stability of each batch of coatings, thereby indirectly ensuring the reliability of the curing effect.
There are many types of lamps, from LED ceiling lamps and wall lamps for indoor decoration, to street lamps and floodlights for outdoor use, to stage lighting and industrial lighting in professional fields, etc. Each lamp has its own unique design requirements and use environment. Powder coatings can be widely used in these different types of lamps due to their excellent mechanical properties, weather resistance and rich colors.
Material compatibility: Powder coatings can adhere well to a variety of lamp substrates such as metal (such as aluminum, steel), plastic (such as ABS, PC), etc., and the adhesion is further enhanced through appropriate pretreatment (such as phosphating treatment, lettering treatment).
Design flexibility: Powder coatings can be made into a variety of effects such as flat light, sanding, wrinkles, metal effects and mixed colors to meet the diverse needs of lamp design for appearance.
Environmental adaptability: For different lamp use environments (such as indoor, outdoor, high temperature, and humidity), our company can provide coatings that meet international standards and have been strictly tested to ensure the stability and durability of lamps under different conditions.
Curing equipment compatibility:
Electrostatic spraying equipment: Powder coatings are suitable for various electrostatic spraying methods such as corona electrostatic spraying, friction electrostatic spraying, and electrostatic fluidized bed spraying. These technologies are widely used in lamp manufacturing and can efficiently and evenly coat lamp parts of complex shapes.
Curing equipment: Whether it is a continuous curing oven or an intermittent curing box, as long as it can meet the above-mentioned temperature and time conditions, it can be used for the curing of lamp coatings. Our company's rich production experience and customer service experience enable it to provide customers with professional advice on equipment selection, process optimization, etc.
