Application to purchase fields
Application context is a purchase question, not a performance claim from this desk. Capture substrate, film-build window, oven schedule and waste handling so quotations from powder coating suppliers stay comparable. Booth recovery rates and Faraday-cage coverage slogans without a method stay in the open column.
Theoretical, measured, or undefined
Metal temperature still required
Gun and booth must hold it
Storage and dust class for the fill
Rows are buyer contexts. Columns are fields that still need a supplier answer. Empty cells stay empty until the buyer or factory fills them. Powder coating suppliers cannot be compared on color alone when chemistry, cure and package differ.
| Context | Resin system | Solids / particle | Coverage and cure | Open documents |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Indoor functional primer | Buyer names epoxy or hybrid | Solids and particle-size method | Film-build target and bake window | SDS, TDS, CoA ions if requested |
| Architectural outdoor polyester | Polyester plus TGIC or HAA note | Solids, gloss and particle cut | Weathering method owner and oven time | TDS method and carton size |
| Appliance color program | Resin and effect pigment family | Solids, metallic orientation notes | Coverage per color and flash-free dwell | Color standard owner and CoA color |
| Heavy-equipment durability | Resin and zinc or barrier note | Solids, particle, gel time if claimed | Impact method and bake | SDS dust notes and package liner |
Standard polyester powders often fit indoor or short-life outdoor parts, but they can fail a weathering method that the buyer has not named. Super-durable polyester or fluoropolymer-leaning systems may raise cost and cure demand. Neither route is declared better here. The RFQ should name the exposure and test owner the plant actually uses.
TGIC-cured systems remain common in some architectural programs, while TGIC-free HAA systems are requested where the buyer’s EHS policy forbids TGIC. Substituting one for the other without restating gel time, flow and outdoor method is not a same-SKU comparison. We keep both chemistries on separate lines.
Typical limits we write on the brief: coverage numbers are method-dependent; moisture or temperature outside the TDS window can void a comparison; hazardous-material handling follows the SDS, not this matrix; Faraday-cage coverage claims need gun settings and part geometry that this site does not control.
A coatings-family glossary can name the fields. It cannot close them. Assay, TSCA status, carton availability and supplier files are confirmed only after a quotation is requested for the named powder code.
If a supplier mentions transfer efficiency or outdoor life, the reply should cite the test method, panel type, film-build and whether the number is first-pass or recovered powder. Without those, the claim stays in the open column.
Gun programs, booth air balance, oven mapping and waste permits are site conditions. We do not convert a TDS sentence into a plant guarantee. Qualified parties review SDS storage, dust and transport before any trial.
Add substrate metal, dry-film target, kilogram forecast and the US receiving site so powder coating suppliers answer one application row instead of mixed booth slogans.
