Bespoke Paint Curing Facilities to Suit Small and Large Applications

Curing is the process by which a paint finish undergoes molecular changes which result in the finish hardening to its ideal toughness. It is quite different to the drying process, which results from the relevant paint solvent (water or chemical) evaporating, leaving behind a solid surface. This solid finish may withstand immediate damaging forces but isn’t capable of withstanding sustained exposure to the environment.

Understanding the difference between drying and curing is an important part of getting the curing process right. Even more important is understanding that different types of finishes require different approaches to curing, whether it is the means by which curing is achieved or the timeframe that is required to achieve ideal curing.

A properly cured finish will mean that the end product will do what it is designed to do. However, understanding how curing occurs and what can be done to improve the process and introduce another opportunity for process efficiency and manufacturing or refinishing productivity, can deliver real commercial benefits to your business.

That means if you are considering installing or upgrading a curing facility, you should start by talking to an expert engineering firm that understands your business and understands the science and engineering of paint finishes, in order to ensure that you get the best design which delivers the best outcomes for your business.

As a simple example, it is often the case that curing times for various finishes can be accelerated. Accelerated processes mean you can get your products to market faster, without compromising quality. However, this may mean considering different types of equipment, meaning greater capital outlay. It is important that you are able to work with an expert that can accurately undertake and communicate the cost-benefit analysis of an accelerated curing process for your business.

DRYSYS Spray Cure is one of Australia’s leading specialists in the design and manufacture of bespoke industrial, and commercial, curing ovens for a wide range of industries and applications.
