INFORMATION ABOUT POWDER COATING YOU SHOULD KNOW

(PART 2)

Many users today wonder whether harmful electrostatic powder coating exists due to the widespread usage of electrostatic spraying technology in mechanical sector activities. The question is, can electrostatic paint be hazardous if inhaled during the painting and spraying process? Adorn Museum is now providing more information for the whole family in the article below. In five minutes, we're confident you'll know something useful!

1. Powder coating components

Let's study about the composition of electrostatic paint using the Adorn Museum before discovering whether it is hazardous. The powder coatings used for powder coating technology contain the following ingredients:

  • Organic polymer (compound of organic polymer).
  • Pigment powder.
  • Curatives.
  • Additives and a coloring agent.

The components will combine. It next goes through melting to become a homogenous mixture. It will then be cooled and processed into a fine powder, a process known as powder coating.

2. How dangerous is electrostatic paint?

So while electrostatic painting, is powder coating harmful to the workers? The truth is that powder coating is neither harmful nor nontoxic. Because additives like plastic and pigments are included in the composition of electrostatic paint. Additionally, they are crushed into superfine dust with a particle size of less than 120 um. As a result, painting requires a lot of labor-intensive labor. They must frequently come into contact with large amounts of paint powder. Any dust particles inhaled by this will result in unwholesome images.

9 negative impacts of powder coatings to note:

  • Electrostatic powder coating dust is frequently breathed in by workers. The respiratory defense system will be overloaded as a result.
  • The respiratory system can be harmed by solid particles and inorganic dust.
  • Long-term injury will result in the mucosa thickening and narrowing of the lower nose. There will also be a discharge of nasal secretions, which will have an impact on the body's respiratory system.
  • Paint dust is a synthetic substance, therefore it likely contains inorganic pigments, anti-rust powder, and chemicals like mercury and lead. Therefore, when a painter inhales too much paint dust. Aside from the harm caused by dust in general. Therefore, it is possible that the sprayer will be contaminated with chemicals like mercury, lead, etc.
  • Inhaling paint dust particles can also lead to lung allergies, asthma, inflammation of the lobar region, etc.
  • Active chemicals are also found in paint lines. When subjected to heat or impact, flammable. Additionally, it can explode, injuring the painter.
  • The respiratory system of the painter will be impacted by the solvents and additives in electrostatic paint during the mixing and spraying processes.
  • Pregnant women when exposed to paint. It can also lead to birth defects in the baby.
  • Powder coating will also be easily absorbed in the body through the respiratory tract. It then passes through the skin and enters the bloodstream.

Powder coating causes much harm to painters

3. Are consumers harmed by electrostatic paint-based products?

Are electrostatic paint products unsafe to use? Electrostatically painted items have no impact on human health. because the sprayed items will go through a high-temperature drying procedure. As a result, all of the paint powders are accurate and adhere to the material firmly. Chairs, tables, shelves, cabinets, and other home furnishings that have been electrostatically painted are absolutely safe. Users can comfortably use and hold it without worrying about how it will damage their health.

4. Is powder coating recyclable?

Through the process of powder coating powder reclamation and treatment, extra waste powder coating powder can be reclaimed. so that powder coating renovation works best. One or two primary colors must be used in the final project. Because changing the hue will result in much higher production expenses. if you only ever use one or two hues of paint at a time. Then you can paint beneath the spray booth or reuse the filter powder in the filter. In order to ensure product quality while also saving money by reusing it.

5. Electrostatic paint standards for the environment

Powder-coated coatings are thought to be non-toxic and only produce a small amount of VOCs. The national environmental protection regulations have been met and exceeded by this paint line. When acquired, painted appliances in Vietnam must adhere to safety regulations. The standard must unquestionably match or beyond the requirements of the national environment.

6. How to avoid the harmful effects of electrostatic paint?

You should have understood whether or not powder coating is harmful from the part above. If you frequently work in painting situations or are a powder coater. You should have the following precautions in place to limit the negative impacts of electrostatic powder coating:

  • Suppose you have to pass by a location where there is a lot of powder-coating dust. Sprayers must put either antibacterial or activated carbon masks.
  • Utilize electrostatic spray booths when painting. To assist items in adhering to standards during painting and prevent harmful effects on the body.
  • Learn about superior industrial electrostatic paint lines and decide which to purchase.
  • Before and after usage, paint spraying equipment needs to be cleaned and protected.
  • Gloves, helmets, and other safety gear are required for paint sprayers.

Hopefully, the information presented above has given readers a sufficient response to the question, "Is electrostatic paint toxic?" It has remarkable benefits and environmentally beneficial properties, as can be shown. Today, electrostatic spraying is frequently employed. Suppose the details we offer do not entirely satisfy your requirements. And if you want to know what dangerous electrostatic paint is, call the Adorn Museum hotline!
