Powder coating on MDF

What is powder coating?

Powder painting or powder coating is a unique, environmentally friendly painting process where powder paint particles electro-statically adhere to specially made MDF.

THE POWDER COATING PROCESS

STEP 1

Once you have filled out the Polylak order form (provided the desired models and dimensions), we proceed to custom saw, mill and sand the MDF.

STEP 2

The powder coating process is an automatic pass-through system where panels are suspended vertically using hooks. It’s important that the client clearly indicates the position of the drilling points. Afterwards the drilling points will no longer be visible as they will be concealed by hinges or slide systems.

STEP 3

The powder coating process can start once the panels have been suspended and all dust has been removed. In a first phase, the MDF is preheated by gas catalytic infrared ovens so that the conductivity increases.

STEP 4

Then each panel passes through the primer spray cabin booth where a first layer of powder is applied. This first coat is a strong base with strong mechanical and chemical properties of a powder coating. Once the primer coat has cured we follow the same steps to apply the top coat which adds the aesthetic aspect.

STEP 5

Finally, we subject all finished products to a strict assessment to ensure the best quality and prepare everything for shipping. If required, we deliver all products ourselves with own transport.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PROCESS

Powder coating is an ecological lacquering process during which no harmful solvents are released, VOCs (Volatile organic compounds). The powder consists of a solid substance, making chemical additives unnecessary. On top of that, our spray booths are equipped with a sophisticated recovery system for overspray, allowing up to 98% of the surplus powder to be reused.
