The importance and role of pre-treatment degreasing in powder coating production, with a description of its principles and steps


Pre-treatment degreasing is a vital step in the production of powder coating. Its main function is to remove grease, dirt and other organic substances from the metal surface in order to ensure good adhesion between the coating and the substrate. This article will describe the importance and role of pre-treatment degreasing and explain its principles and procedures.

I. Importance and role of pre-treatment degreasing:


Improving the adhesion of the coating: 

grease, dirt and organic substances on metal surfaces can affect the adhesion of the coating to the substrate. Without degreasing, the coating is likely to fail to adhere firmly to the metal surface, leading to peeling and flaking of the coating. By degreasing, contaminants are completely removed from the metal surface, providing a clean, rough base for the coating and thus improving the adhesion of the coating.


Preventing defects in the coating: 

Grease, dirt and organic substances on the metal surface can create bubbles, holes and other defects during the curing process of the coating. These defects can reduce the quality and performance of the coating and can lead to corrosion and damage to the coating. By degreasing, these contaminants can be effectively removed, reducing the incidence of coating defects and improving the quality and consistency of the coating.


Promotes corrosion resistance of the coating: 

grease and other organic substances may cause degradation and corrosion of the coating after it has cured. Degreasing removes these organic substances and protects the coating from corrosion and chemical attack, improving the corrosion resistance and durability of the coating.

Principles and steps of pre-treatment degreasing:


Principle: 

Pretreatment degreasing dissolves or separates grease and organic substances from the metal surface by using a suitable solvent or alkaline solution. Solvents and alkaline solutions have good solvency and cleaning properties and are effective in removing contaminants from metal surfaces.

II. Steps:


Step 1: Surface cleaning. Prior to degreasing, metal surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned to remove large particles of dirt and impurities. Cleaning can be carried out using solvents, alkaline cleaners or detergents. Apply the cleaner evenly to the metal surface using a brush or spray gun and rinse well with water.


Step 2: Degreasing treatment. Select a suitable degreaser or solvent and apply it to the metal surface. Degreasers can detach grease and organic substances from the metal surface by dissolving them. The choice of degreaser should be based on the type of metal and the degree of contamination. Degreasing can be carried out using a brush, spray gun or by immersion.


Step 3: Rinse. After the degreasing process, the metal surface must be thoroughly rinsed of any degreaser residue. Rinse with water or detergent to ensure that the metal surface is clean and free of contamination.


Step 4: Drying. After the degreasing process is complete, the metal surface must be thoroughly dried. Use a hot air oven, drying chamber or other suitable equipment to completely remove moisture from the metal surface and ensure that the surface is dry.


By performing the principles and steps of pre-treatment degreasing correctly, you can ensure that the metal surface is clean and free from contamination, providing a good basis for subsequent powder coating. Degreasing improves the adhesion of the coating, reduces coating defects and increases the corrosion resistance and durability of the coating. Correct pre-treatment degreasing is therefore a key step in ensuring the quality of the coating in powder coating production.
