The polyethylene thermoplastic powder coating of IFS offers good adhesion properties for metal structures and the automotive sector.
The powder coatings supplier IFS Coatings has recently launched IFS Puroplaz PE16, a durable thermoplastic modified polyolefin powder coating, which offers flexibility and good adhesion properties. In addition, this new technology offers a Shore D hardness of 60 and excellent gravimetric performance as well as exceptional resistance to impacts and abrasion.
“This PE16 formula has a rare combination of hardness and flexibility. These attributes are normally codependent with a trade off in one for gains in the other. The brand-new formulation overcomes this which makes it ideal for products that will be post formed after coating, such as fence wire weaving, that also require excellent abrasion resistance. It can be used to replace nylon coatings in certain applications,” has stated Tim Brinner, Vice-President of Thermoplastics at IFS Coatings.
Puroplaz PE16 can be used for several applications, including woven wire fences, fence posts, waste bins, agricultural tools, automotive components and pipelines. It is also available in both spray and dip formulations and is made without the use of PVC and BPA.
