Powder Coating Performance Technical Specifications

Fault SymptomRoot CauseCorrective Action
Powder Not Adhering to WorkpieceNo high voltageClean the spray gun, adjust voltage, or replace the gun
 Poor grounding of workpiece fixture or conveyorClean all grounding points
 Excessive air pressureAdjust air pressure
 Spray gun too far from workpieceAdjust gun position
 Fixture design causes shieldingRedesign fixture
 Excessive spray booth ventilationReduce exhaust airflow
 Insulating layer on workpiece surfaceApply thermal spray
 Poor-quality powder coatingRemove insulating layer
Insufficient Powder CoatingLow powder output from gunReplace powder coating
 Clogged powder feed lineAdjust pressure, clean or adjust powder feed system
 Short spraying timeClear blockage or replace powder hose
 Workpiece geometry mismatches boothReduce conveyor speed, add guns, increase powder feed
 Excessive powder buildup on fixturesRecalculate workpiece profile
 Low high voltageAdjust gun position
Excessive Powder CoatingHigh powder output from gunAdjust high voltage
 Spray gun too close to workpieceReduce powder feed, adjust air pressure
 Prolonged dwell timeIncrease conveyor speed
 Too many spray gunsReduce number of guns
 Excessive voltageAdjust high voltage
Low Gloss or DiscolorationOverbaking timeIncrease conveyor speed or shorten time
 Excessive baking temperatureAdjust oven temperature
 Contamination from other powdersClean equipment, use fresh powder
 External gas ingress (silicone/paint dust)Eliminate external contamination sources
Coating Surface ContaminantsImproper workpiece pretreatmentRe-inspect and correct pretreatment
 Rough workpiece surfaceReprocess: sanding, putty, apply thicker coating
 Dirty spray gun/booth/recovery systemFully clean all components, filter powder, use fresh material
 Poor workshop cleanlinessImprove environmental hygiene
Pinholes/CratersImproper pretreatmentRe-pretreat (thorough washing/drying or high-temp drying + sanding)
 Contaminated air supplyInspect/correct, drain moisture traps regularly, install multi-stage filters
 Improper phosphatingControl phosphating film adhesion
 External dust contaminationClean system, use clean powder
 Workpiece defectsInspect, replace, or apply conductive putty
Poor Adhesion/Mechanical StrengthInsufficient curing temperatureAdjust oven temperature (consider workpiece thickness/heat absorption)
 Short curing timeExtend curing time
 Improper surface treatmentInspect and correct
 Excessive coating thicknessReduce powder application
 Severe overbakingStrictly control curing parameters
