Powder Coating
Improving Adhesion of Thermoplastic Powder
The issue is that the supplier’s black PVC coating, applied at 8–10 mils, over a 304 stainless plate, welded onto a 1008 low carbon steel grid will not adhere to the stainless portion. The coating adheres well to the grid but peels away from the stainless plate. Since we can’t substitute the stainless for another material, is there a chemical treatment or sub-primer that could be sprayed on the steel, prior to the fluidized powder, to improve adhesion? Or can you make suggested changes to the pre-heat, time, temps, etc.?
