INTRODUCTION
OXYPLAST FF165 is a thermosetting powder coating based on epoxy and polyester resins. It is formulated to give a satin-to-matt finish with excellent flow-out. The outstanding decorative and protective properties of FF165 are utilised in a wide range of indoor applications.
GLOSS AND COLOUR RANGE
Gloss levels: 30-45% at 60⁰. A full colour range is available; with the whites and very light shades showing slight overbake yellowing.
APPLICATIONS
Include home and office furniture, computer hardware, ceiling panels, switchboards, etc.
APPLICATION SCHEDULE
May be applied by electrostatic spraying using classic devices which can provide a negative tension of 60 - 80kV. The powder is cured in a suitable convection or infra-red oven. Curing: Medium cure 10 mins at 180⁰C Optimal film thickness: 60 - 80µm.
SUBSTRATES AND PRE-TREATMENT
May be applied to the following substrates after the appropriate cleaning and conversion coating:
Ferrous metals (cold-rolled steel, cast iron, etc.) : Iron or zinc phosphatation
Zinc surfaces (galvanised steel, zinc alloy) : Chromatation or zinc phosphatation
Aluminium alloys : Chromatation
STORAGE
At temperatures not exceeding 30⁰C and under dry conditions, FF165 powders may be stored for up to 6 months without affecting their free-flowing properties. The coating thus obtained will still have optimal characteristics.
PROPERTIES OF THE POWDER
Melting range (Kofler) : 80 - 106⁰C
Specific gravity (DIN 55990/3) Particle size distribution, : 1.40 – 1.75 (depending on colour)
