Definitions
- acnieving a goal of providing the ultimate corrosion protection of steel with a powder coating requires that several steps be satisfied.
- Second, sites to which the powder can bond must be available on the surface. These are generally provided by depositing certain crystals on the surface during the preparation operations.
- a major advantage of the use of galvanized steel over mild steel as the substrate is realized where the powder coating becomes physically damaged, as can occur, for example, in shipping, rigging, or installing of industrial equipment.
- the corrosion resistance is determined only by the substrate material and the zinc cladding of the galvanized steel provides significantly greater corrosion protection than is possible through the use of a passivating rinse, as typically used on mild steel.
- the presently used eight-stage or eight-step pretreatment process of galvanized metal prior to its organic powder coating will be described.
- the present invention which is an improved four-step pretreatment process will then be described.
- the eight-stage or eight-step pretreatment process is as follows:
- This invention comprises a pretreatment process, particularly a four-step pretreatment process for galvanized metal prior to its coating with an organic powder.
- This pretreatment process was specifically developed for application with a galvanized metal substrate, which does not require passivation to assure protection of the steel from corrosion.
- the first step in the preparation of the galvanized metal for coating involves cleaning and acid etching to assure a clean and oxide-free surface. This is accomplished through the use of a typical biodegradable solution (liquid acid solution) containing phosphoric acid, solvents and surfactants and which is obtainable commercially in various formulations from, for example, Oakite Products, Inc., in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey. It is formulated for removing light grease, shop dirt, welding fluxes, oxides, and mill scale from the galvanized metal and in general microscopically etches the metal prior to organic powder coating.
- the cleansing and etching agent contains phosphoric acid, a small amount of zinc phosphate crystals, resulting from the chemical reaction of the phosphoric acid with the zinc, are randomly distributed over the surface substrate of the metal.
- a 3-20% solution by volume of this acid compound at 110-150° is used. The exact temperature and concentration must be adjusted to achieve thorough cleaning with minimal attack of the zinc.
- the solution is usually contained in a vat which is large enough so that the entire piece of galvanized metal can be dipped therein. It has been found that the minimum dipping time in this solution is 1 1/2 to 3 1/2 minutes with more time needed if the galvanized metal is heavily contaminated with dirt or oil or has been treated with special rinses by the metal vendor. Sometimes, instead of dipping, the cleaning and etching solution is sprayed onto the galvanized metal.
- the second step involves a water rinse which is required to remove excess cleaning agent from step 1 plus any salts, such as chlorides, nitrates or sulfates which may be on the surface of the substrate.
- any salts such as chlorides, nitrates or sulfates which may be on the surface of the substrate.
- tap water is used, but in areas where it contains high mineral levels, deionized water may be more suitable.
- Water used in this step becomes slightly contaminated with the acidic cleansing agent used in step 3 as a result of carry-over of the cleansing agent on the surface of the galvanized steel.
- Step 3 also involves a water rinse. As stated previously, this water rinse is required to assure that all of the dilute cleaning agent, plus any salts and minerals remaining on the surface following step 2, are removed.
- step 4 the treated galvanized metal must be dried prior to its coating with the organic powder. This drying is usually done by inserting the pretreated and rinsed galvanized metal into an oven at 130°-400°F for approximately 2 to 10 minutes so that it thoroughly dries. A preferred typical condition would be inserting the pretreated and galvanized metal in the oven at 250°F for approximately 5 minutes.
- the galvanized metal Upon completion of the four-step pretreatment process, the galvanized metal must be powder coated within a short period of time or at least before any amount of zinc oxide develops on the galvanized metal as a result of exposure to the atmosphere of other oxidizing agents. This is so because unlike conventional pretreatment systems, no passivation coating is deposited in the instant invention. Ideally, then the galvanized metal should be powder coated immediately after it has been dried. As a practical matter, however, due to equipment limitations and location, manpower requirements, moving needs, and the like, it has been found that the time lag between drying (step 4) and powder coating of the galvanized metal can range from about 5 minutes to 6 hours with an average time lag of about 10 minutes.
- the coating to be used is a typical organic powder such as, for example, epoxy, polyester, acrylics, or hybrids which are mixtures of polyester and epoxy powders.
- a typical organic powder such as, for example, epoxy, polyester, acrylics, or hybrids which are mixtures of polyester and epoxy powders.
- epoxy coating powders R R R such as Pulvalure R , Scotchkote , Corvel , or Vedoc R , which are manufactured by and available from various suppliers.
- These typical epoxy coating powders are hemogenous, melt-mixed, 100% solids designed for application to metals.
- the organic powder coating is applied typically by electrostatic spray although it can also be applied by dipping the treated, rinsed, and dried galvanized metal into a fluidized bed of this powder.
- electrostatic spray the powder issues from a gun which imparts it with an electrically positive charge. Since the galvanized metal is negatively charged, the powder is attracted and caused to adhere to the metal.
- the particular thickness of the coating is not critical, although a typical thickness which has been found to be ideal is .004 inches (0.1) millimeters ⁇ .001 inches (.0254 millimeters). This is the approximate thickness which is deposited on ,the pretreated, rinsed, and dried galvanized metal before putting it in an oven for curing. Proper curing involves baking the powder coated metal in an oven at approximately 300°-550°F for about 1-20 minutes. Temperatures and curing times are usually given by the manufacturer of the organic powder used.
