Versatility. The key to Capturing New Markets  While
the sun is surely setting on wet coating technologies, the future for powder coatings has
never been brighter. Coating manufacturers are facing new opportunities and challenges as
powder technology continuously evolves. A key to capturing these new markets will be the
capability to respond to new trends and technologies.
Our BP Series of twin-screw, co-rotating extruders offers this versatility.
Coatings based on epoxy, polyurethane, polyester, and the latest epoxy/ polyester
hybrid resins are routinely processed. As more and more hybrid resins become available,
the ability to produce epoxy/polyester coatings where the epoxy resin acts as a curing
agent for the polyester will open more and more markets.
 BP
extruders allow precise temperature control for sensitive additives like catalysts or
cross-linking agents. From low temperature epoxy resins for smooth coatings with high
gloss and excellent adhesion, to higher-temperature polyester and polyurethane resins with
superior weatherability and durability.
B&P twin-screw extruders for powder coatings range in scale from 10 lb/hr
laboratory-scale applications to full-scale production runs yielding more than 7,000
lb/hr. |
