product description： product description：
the lk polyethylene powder coating is a thermoplastic powder coating with an inorganic anti-microbial agent that is harmless to the human body, and it has excellent anti-bacterial, safety and long-lasting properties. it meets the requirements of the anti-microbial test (jis z 2801:2000).
application field
it is suitable for various wire mesh products such as shelves in refrigerators and coolers, kitchen supplies, medical facilities, medical appliances, office supplies, outdoor recreation facilities, etc.
powder properties
non-volatile content: ≥99.5%
dry fluidity: fluidization floating ≥20%
specific gravity: 0.91-0.95 (varies by different colors)
particle size distribution: ≤300um
melt index: 5-50 g/10min (2.16kg, 190℃) [depending on the workpiece to be coated and the process].
storage: store in a ventilated and dry room below 35℃, and prevent from being close to the source of ignition. the storage period is two years from the manufacturing date. it shall be retested when it is expired, and it can still be used if it is qualified. in addition, it is recommended that the product shall be used on the first-in and first-out basis.
packing: it is packed in composite paper bags, and the net weight per bag is 20 kg.
application
pre-treatment: it can be degreased via the high temperature method and the solvent method, or rust can be removed by the chemical method and sand blasting. after treatment, the surface of the substrate shall be neutral.
pre-heating temperature of workpiece to 250-350℃ [it can be adjusted according to the heat capacity (i.e. the metal thickness) of the workpiece].
fluidized bed dip coating for 4-8 seconds [it can be adjusted according to the metal thickness and the shape of the workpiece].
plasticization at 180-250℃ for 0-5 minutes [the post-heating plasticization process is beneficial to obtain a smooth coating].
cooling: air cooling or natural cooling.

hygiene & safety
this powder coating is a non-toxic product, but the inhaling of dust shall be avoided during use. it is recommended that operators shall wear appropriate dust masks and glasses. if possible, avoid long-term skin contact with powder coatings. we recommend installing an edge exhaust fan above the fluidized bed.
caution
in order to obtain the best adhesion, it is recommended to carry out phosphating or chromizing treatment on the basis of degreasing and de-rusting of the substrate.
excessive heating will lead to aging and discoloration of the coating film. however, if the temperature is too low, it would cause the defects such as thin and rough coating film, etc. therefore, the optimum heating temperature shall be determined through experiments according to the metal thickness and the coating facilities of the customer.
workpiece design: the sharp parts shall be ground, there shall be no gap in the welding, the metal thickness and the wire diameter in a workpiece shall be close.
this product is not recommended to use in post-processing (re-deformed workpiece after coating) products.
like all polymer powders, especially in the flowing condition, the powder coating can be ignited or burned if contact with a high-temperature source.
