Thin powder color topcoat: Powder coating process for small parts in bulk production
This article describes a new powder coating process applicable to many types of fasteners and small parts called “Thin Powder Color Topcoat” (TPCT). These coatings are applied to metal parts, with or without a base coating, in an innovative bulk production process that incorporates a proven thermal diffusion coating method. The article explains how the new process is suitable for mass finishing of small- and medium-size parts with powder coatings, providing substantial cost savings when compared with rack or spray coating. Test results indicate positive outcomes on a wide range of materials, showing exceptional durability and versatility in controlling the uniformity, thickness, and colors available for small parts production.
