Powder coating formulation development
Help with developing and adjusting powder coating formulations, starting from the filler.
Overview
BIGPOWDERMIN has its own experience in powder coating formulation. Fillers make up a significant share of many powder coatings, and their type, fineness and loading shape how the powder extrudes, melts and levels, and how the cured film looks.
We work with your formulators on new formulations and on changes to existing ones. We select a filler for the resin system and finish, then test and adjust it in the formulation with you.
What we look at
- Resin system and finish
- The filler is chosen for the resin chemistry and the target finish, from high gloss to matt.
- Filler type and loading
- Barium sulfate, calcium carbonate and other minerals are compared at the loadings the formulation allows.
- Extrusion and dispersion
- Fillers are checked for how evenly they disperse during extrusion and how consistently they behave.
- Film appearance
- Leveling, smoothness and gloss of the cured film are evaluated as the formulation is adjusted.
