In the field of powder coatings for heatsensitive substrates (HSS), several new coatings and application lines have been developed in recent years. One example is low-temperature-cure hybrid powder coatings, which contain accelerators to shorten the cure temperature/time and to make them suitable for application to MDF. Another is radical-cure systems, which are even more suitable because they are faster and have better properties. Economically, this powder-coating curing technique finds it difficult to compete in in the big volume markets, where UV systems and also melamine/formaldehyde laminates predominate. The target markets discussed in this article are all flat panels and do ...
