Innovative over coat, r coating systems, presents a detailed plan, with ation that is helpful to anyone considering the powder ption of s and use of ial tive over coat (ioc) will be the provider of choice in the powder coating finishes for custom, refinish parts. Ioc will ers by providing custom colors and superior customer coatings are the fastest growing sector of the paint industry; n pounds sold in 1992 to 450 million pounds projected for the year. There are three key reasons: it expensive to apply than liquid coatings, it is easier to apply coatings, and there are no solvents so it is more ly than liquid individuals who are refinishing motorcycle, automobile and are impressed with the appearance and durability of powder tive over coat intends to capitalize on this market tive over coat (ioc) is a michigan-based s-corporation which e powder coating application services to metal parts. As well as a high volume retail customer base,Linnfield motorcycles is a high volume parts supplier and will tive with all of its after market powder coating kind of parts will ioc be coating? These customers will buy services directly from innovative, customers to are not enough aquality applicators in the market place to growing demand for custom powder coating services. We have identified company located in sandusky, ohio that is serving this two partners forming this business have the breadth and depth ence needed to succeed.

Ioc will focus its marketing efforts on parts e a quality ption of tive over coat, a michigan s-corporation, is a start-up venture provide custom powder coating finishing services for metal parts. Will differentiate itself from the competition by:Focusing on custom coated ing only powder coated ing superior ison of liquid and powder coatings. The coating must contain some form of solvent carrier ers the paint to the part being coated. Curing can occur in one of several ways based on a: evaporation (air dry), baking (elevated temperature dry), use -violet radiation, or use of a contrast, a powder coating does not involve the use of any liquid. Powder is electrostatically applied to the part, and then cured in oven at a temperature of 350 to 425 degrees. There are no liquids clean equipment, eliminating all liquid waste coatings have proven to be an efficient, economical, ically sound method of industrial finishing. Generally, form liquids because of their higher molecular weight and bility; there is less film porosity with superior ance, toughness, hardness and abrasion of the advantages of powder coatings include:Powder is an attractive choice over liquid finishing systems because a 100 percent solids material that contains no solvents. This results in considerable that is not deposited on the part can be reclaimed and reused,Increasing material efficiency to as much as 95 to 98 a coating mistake has been made, powder can be blown off ssed air and reapplied to the part before baking, sing part need for paint mixing is eliminated. Powder is introduced into hopper directly from the coatings can offer excellent color consistency, color lities and color and gloss up is easy; powder can be vacuumed off skin and clothing with efficiency and water will accomplish the final clean this all sounds too good to be true, there has historically been tion to powder coatings.
This limitation was eliminated within the past , when powder coatings have been developed to match liquid all measures of has selected powder coating finishes because they are the finish future. Powder coating sales have nearly doubled since 1992 (149 in 1992 to 257 million pounds in 1995), and are expected to again by the year 2000. Sales are projected to be 450 by the year coating sales have grown at the expense of other types of coatings,And manufacturers are converting from liquid coating to powder paint (solvent borne and water borne) will drop t of the market in 1995 to 67 percent in 2000. Powder coating se from 15 percent in 1995 to 22 percent in conversion from liquid to powder is happening for several , it is environmentally friendly. Second, it is less ng powder coating costs one tenth of the cost of the application has further evaluated the market by interviewing numerous g users, and other experts in the field. Customers, cturers, and painting equipment manufacturers agree that there custom powder coaters in the midwest who can consistently, ly apply powder coating to meet the demanding standards of ed market will initially target the custom refinishing of motorcycle,Automobile, and snowmobile parts. Third, these individuals know that coating finish is superior to a liquid coating finish mance and look. They have already agreed to refer customers and ycle dealers needing powder coating to ioc.

The powder to be applied to the part is a feeder unit through a hose to the spray gun. The be varied according to the type of powder material being applied intended thickness of the coat. The powder emerges as a charged,Diffuse cloud that is aimed at the electrically grounded part. Wet spray processes however, the powder overspray can be coated parts are placed in a preheated oven for thermosetting. Ature of the oven and the time of exposure to heat vary according coating material(s), the substrate material type and thickness of e controlled powder storage:Coating powders have a shelf life of about one year depending on ions.
