Our Process

Powder coating plastics and other nonconductive materials is made possible by incorporating InnoVoc Conductive Coat 101 into a conventional power coating process.

Will InnoVoc's Conductive Coat 101 work for my application?

If the part can withstand the curing temperature of the desired powder coat, use of InnoVoc's Conductive Coat 101 should lead to a successful powder coating process.

Today's powder curing temperatures are usually about 300 °F (150 °C) or more. Some specialty powders have lower curing temperatures.

Prepare the part

Insure a clean bare surface.

Apply InnoVoc's Conductive Coat 101 to part

Apply Conductive Coat 101 to substrate (diluted with 20 parts water to 1 part concentrate if using Conductive Coat 101 Coating Concentrate). Conductive Coat 101 RTU is pre-diluted and ready to use. Allow the solution to evaporate off.

The part is ready to powder coat when it is dry to the touch.

Hang part and apply powder

Attach your part to a grounded fixture and apply powder using a conventional powder gun. If your gun has a reshoot mode, using this mode can enhance coverage.

Cure powder coating

Once powder is applied to the part, cure the powder with its specific curing process.

Questions?

If you have any questions, please contact us. We will likely be able to provide additional tips and techniques to your specific application.

Our patented solution makes the surface of any material temporarily electrically conductive. This enables conventional powder paints to adhere to the treated surface prior to and during the curing process. We use conventional electrostatic equipment, processes, and powders to powder coat your application. Our process is simple, user friendly, environmentally safe, and ensures consistent quality.

The patented solution has been used in an industry leading manufacturer's production environment for over a decade. Testing has shown a significant improvement in durability and greater lifespan of the powder coated composites due to the durability and tenacious bond of the powder coat to the fiberglass/plastic substrates.

Some of the application projects include powder coating fiberglass fenestration profiles, epoxy resin fiberglass springs, coating of various nylon materials, various interior low density fiberboard materials, and other engineering grade plastics, composites, and glass.
