BYK Temperature

Today’s industrial mass production would not be possible without the use of baked coatings. Drying times (baking times) varying between a few minutes to half an hour are common in the production process.
Today’s finishes must meet very high mechanical and appearance QC requirements, including
– Optimum adhesion
– Sufficient elasticity in case of deformation through mechanical stress
– Long-term weather stability, e. g. corrosion resistance
– Gloss and color stability
– Optimum hardness
Optimum curing is the prerequisite for achieving these specifications. The properties and the exact temperature distribution of the oven must be known in order to avoid rejects and ensure consistent quality. Poor curing can lead to failure.

The traditional range of baked coating systems has changed considerably with the introduction of environmentally friendly systems. 

BYK-Gardner offers a well established type of baking oven – the gradient-oven – for better control, higher precision and production simulation in the laboratory.
