Our Thermofix    thermoplastic powder is based on a modified polyethylene and is specially developed to provide long-term, protective surface layer of iron, galvanized steel and aluminum both for the interior and the exterior applications.

Thermofix    is typically used in a Fluid Bed Powder Coating process, which involves dipping preheated metal parts into a fine powder suspended in an air chamber. Fluid Bed process is used when uniform and drip-less coating is required. This method is very efficient and low cost.

Thermofix    offers following advanatges:

 

    excellent corrosion protection of metals

    very good water resistance

    excellent resistance to chemicals such as acids, salts and solutions

    electrical insulating properties

    excellent mechanical properties - flexibility, strength and abrasion resistance

    soft to the touch surface

    not hazardous to health

    thicker layer of protective surface than non-PE powders

    optional UV stabilization for outdoor use

    excellent adhesion to metal

 

Anothert important advantage is that the specific gravity is more than 40% below the thermosetting powders meaning that the same weight of PE powder creates layer of double thickness.
