CURVECOAT™
thermoset powder coatings
OVERVIEW
The post-bendable thermoset powder solution.
Depending on manufacturing processes, often times substrates are first coated and then bent or formed into shape. A standard liquid paint coating may crack during the process, or even a standard powder coating may lose its durability over time. It’s a true challenge to compromise between applying a coating that’s either durable or flexible.
CurvecoatTM is a patented thermoset powder coating solution that allows the bending and re-shaping of the substrate without cracking or splitting after it has been coated. CurvecoatTM is formulated to combine durability and flexibility. It is the ideal solution for substrates that must be reshaped after being painted, dramatically reducing material handling issues in the manufacturing process.
MAIN FEATURES
- One of the most flexible coatings available.
- Excellent overall durability.
- Allows post bending with chip and crack resistance.
- Reduces material handling which may result in reduced transport and packaging costs
- Flexible application for indoor or outdoor use.
- Can be formulated with most Protech Group coatings.
