PureClad Powder Coatings are transforming the wood and MDF coating market with a tough, durable protection, and gorgeous finish and an impressive sustainability footprint. IFS Coatings’ PureClad powder range offers a choice of low-cure powder chemistries that will deliver outstanding technical performance, including excellent adhesion, scratch, mar and peel resistance, water resistance and flexibility. The PureClad range consists of powder primers and single coat powder topcoat solutions. PureClad powder primers offer a single coat primer solution, delivering excellent technical performance with the ability to increase throughput and reduce time and energy. PureClad primers will accept a powder or liquid top coat and deliver excellent water resistance, chemical resistance and stain resistance. PureClad primers also deliver good sandability and flexibility to accommodate the deformation of wood that occurs over time. PureClad X is a single coat application with superior application characteristics and excellent technical performance. PureClad X powder topcoats will deliver excellent water, cleaning product and stain resistance as well as good edge outgassing forgiveness and the ability to maintain flexibility overtime, without brittleness. These smooth, beautiful powders are also resistant to yellowing and have great outdoor weathering capabilities. Unlike traditional low-cure chemistry, with PureClad there’s no need to compromise on production speed, efficiency, or technical performance. The process of coating and curing is completed quickly – in only about 10 minutes – an extremely favorable comparison with competing products. The cure process, which takes as little as 6 minutes in a catalytic IR oven at only 265F°, is sufficiently low to accommodate standard MDF as well as many natural wood materials. It is also designed with the flexibility necessary to accommodate the deformation of wood that occurs overtime, especially in humid environments with significant temperature variation, such as kitchens and bathrooms. High line densities, fast application and curing and the ability to coat complex shapes are all possible They are also easy to apply, displaying excellent flow, which results in a beautiful finish. PureClad powders exhibit excellent temperature stability and can be safely stored at room temperatures. PureClad powder coatings also offer a more environmentally responsible choice. PureClad powders have no harmful VOC emissions and have the lowest carbon footprint of any industrial coating technology. Powders cure at lower temperatures thus reducing energy consumption. With sustainability at the forefront of product design, this is an exciting benefit. Technical performance and aesthetic properties are equally important. PureClad powder coatings are available in a range of colors and can be formulated to achieve a variety of textures and effects that other finishing options simply cannot achieve. As such, PureClad powders can be used on a huge array of end use applications, which include, but are not limited to cabinetry, furniture, residential cladding, moldings, and wood doors. IFS Coatings are the powder experts, only manufacturing powder coatings, with all R&D knowledge, expertise and expenditure focused on powder. Talk to the professional team at IWF
