1. Substrate selection and preparation
Substrate quality: The quality of the substrate (such as cold-rolled or hot-rolled plate) directly affects the overall performance of the color-coated coil and the adhesion of the coating. The flatness, surface roughness, hardness, strength and other indicators of the substrate will affect the uniformity and adhesion of the coating.
Pretreatment: The substrate needs to undergo strict pretreatment before coating, such as degreasing, pickling, phosphating, etc., to remove surface oil, dust and other impurities and improve the adhesion of the coating.
2. Coating process
Coating material selection: The selection of coating materials (such as polyester, silicone, polyurethane, etc.) determines the corrosion resistance, wear resistance, weather resistance, fading resistance and other properties of the color-coated coil. Different coating materials have different physical and chemical properties and should be selected according to specific needs.
Coating technology: The coating process needs to ensure uniform coating and consistent thickness. Roller coaters are usually used for coating, and the coating amount, coating speed and coating method are precisely controlled to obtain the ideal coating effect.
Baking and curing: Baking and curing is a key step to ensure that the coating is tightly bonded to the substrate. Through high-temperature baking, the resin and curing agent in the coating react chemically to form a solid protective layer. The baking temperature and time need to be adjusted according to the coating material and coating method.
3. Quality inspection and performance testing
Coating thickness detection: Coating thickness is one of the important factors affecting the performance of color-coated coils. Through the coating thickness detector, it can be ensured that the coating thickness of each batch of color-coated coils is uniform and meets the standards.
Performance testing: Including bending test, impact test, corrosion resistance test, etc., these tests can evaluate whether the coating performance of color-coated coils meets relevant standards and customer requirements.
In summary, the coating performance of color-coated coils mainly depends on key steps such as substrate selection and preparation, coating process, quality inspection and performance testing. Each link needs to be strictly controlled to ensure that the color-coated coils have excellent quality and long-term durability.
