Indian Powder Manufacturers may plan for a price hike.
The major challenges faced by Powder coating manufacturers in today’s market include competition, the high cost of energy and strong increases in raw material costs. During the past several months the prices of raw materials have increased by a substantial amount.  Prices of Polyester resins goes up by 15 to 16%. Epoxy resins may go up further due to increase in prices of Bisphenol-A. The impact of such increases will leave practically no options for Powder Manufacturers but to enhance prices A number of other raw materials are also on the escalation path. Is it a distress call? Is this the time to re-evaluate the price structure of powder paints or will the fear of competition force the powder manufacturer to absorb this impact? It is the time for responding to these challenges

One of the leading powder manufacturer said,"
What is more surprising is the fact that the Indian Powder manufacturers continue to brave the situation and absorb the price rise. How they are able to do so is a mystery. As a result of this customer's in India are having a field time.

Another manufacturer mentioned I feel fear of competition can not force a manufacturer to make cash loss.  Now a very little or no scope is left of absorbing the raw material price increase. Therefore the prices of powder coating will have to go up substantially.

A different picture is presented by a 400 tons per year manufacturer who feels the larger giants are to blame for this. He said, We have to follow the big manufacturer for the price and now the trend is Marpol, Asian, Berger are either not increasing the price or keeping it low.  They have new unit in tax holiday zone. We can not do that.
 
IPC feels, it's now time to let the economy decide the price structure.

PaintExpo Presents the Entire Spectrum of Industrial Painting Technology
PaintExpo International Trade Fair for Industrial Painting Technology in Karlsruhe, from the 10th through the 13th of October, 2006 (box) Neuffen, 01.06.2006 - More quality, economy and environmental friendliness – requirements which show no mercy where painting and coating of metals, wood and wooden materials, plastics and other materials are concerned. With PaintExpo, the painting industry once again has a trade fair which offers a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in the fields of liquid painting, powder coating, coil coating, paints and pre-treatment. The international trade fair for industrial painting technology will take place at the Karlsruhe Exhibition Centre from the 10th through the 13th of October, 2006.

Roughly 4 months before PaintExpo opens its doors for the first time in Karlsruhe, 143 exhibitors from inside and outside of Germany have already registered (as of 26 May 2006). They come from the fields of equipment and application technology, drying, automation and conveyor technology, paints, paint stripping, cleaning and pre-treatment, environmental engineering, air supply, exhaust air and wastewater treatment, disposal, measuring and test technology, quality assurance, accessories, job-shop coating, service, training and research. Nearly all of the leading suppliers of painting technology and important paint manufacturers will be on hand. Jürgen Haußmann, managing director of event promoter FairFair GmbH, also reports that numerous exhibitors will present their products and services at very large booths. Various exhibitors have even doubled their floor space in comparison with the last PaintTech, allowing them to offer live demonstrations of their equipment.

Innovative Solutions for Liquid Painting
An important topic for PaintExpo in the field of liquid painting is the reduction of solvent emissions in accordance with requirements set forth in the VOC directive. The specified limit values can be adhered to by various means, for example through the use of low-solvent painting systems, or by switching to water based paints or powdered enamels. Beyond this, paint consumption can also be reduced in many cases with modern application systems. Where the use of multi-component paints is concerned, increased process reliability, for example by means of dependable and easy to use mixing and dosing systems, is of prime importance. Smaller and smaller lot quantities and the ever increasing variety of hues represent a special challenge for the operators of painting and coating systems. In this case, system concepts which are consistently laid out for maximum flexibility assure economic operation and a sharp competitive edge. PaintExpo offers comprehensive information and solutions for a broad range of topics covering all aspects of liquid painting and powder coating with regard to systems technology as well as coating materials.

Reduced Powder Coating Costs
How can efficiency be increased for the initial coat, how can throughput be boosted, reproducible coating quality be achieved and personnel expenses be reduced with the help of additional automation – these are some of the questions which enjoy top priority in the field of powder coating. And the painting technology trade fair will provide the answers with the latest developments in powder conveying and application systems, as well as innovative modular controls which are distinguished by optimised user friendliness and process reliability. <more>

Why the penguin?

Jotun took its name from Norwegian mythology and the Jotunheimen moutain range. Originally our logo was a hammer which Jotun had stolen from Thor, the God of thunder. During the 1930's the hammer became a political symbol and was, therefore, replaced by a gigant carrying Thor's hammer over his shoulder.

 

The gigant looked more like a troll and was replaced by a reindeer in flight with the Jotunheimen mountains in the background. But it still wasn't right. It was then that the penguin was suggested, a natural choice given Gleditsch's whaling background in the Antarctic, and that the penguin is attractive yet tough. The logo was modernised in the 1970s to bring the international side to the fore by drawing a globe around the penguin. These days Jotun's penguin has really gone global and is recognised all over the world.



Why the penguin? you may wonder. The stylized image of a penguin is a prominent feature of Jotun’s logotype and is there for a reason. It appears because Jotun’s founding father Odd Gleditsch, who started out as whaler ship supplier, sailed to the arctic seas in the early 1920’s.
There he noticed how penguins lived, saw the way they took care of their offspring, family and the group in a responsible manner that impressed him deeply. When Jotun was established 1926, Odd Gleditsch felt the penguin symbolized the caring and responsible family company values he envisioned.
Today Jotun calls this The Penguin Spirit, which is summed up in four words: Loyalty, Care, Respect and Boldness And eighty years down the road a prosperous family company it still is, now with a third generation Gleditsch as chairman of the board, and still headquartered in Sandefjord, southern Norway.

  Powder Coating Manual, Air Management-- (Part - 54)  

3 Air Management
Air management means control of air volume, velocity, airflow direction, filtration, temperature and humidity. In a facility that includes a powder coating system, air management affects the performance of the equipment, the comfort of the workers, and the system efficiency. It is a mistake to install a powder system without planning for proper air management. Air volumes and velocities affect the ability of the powder booth to contain overspray and they can affect transfer efficiency. Control of air affects worker comfort and prevents gasses from escaping the oven. Good management of air provides the lowest possible expense for energy. For peak efficiency, it is important to manage the behavior of the air within the plant.

Air management for the powder system is often not given the same consideration as other issues even though it is important to the function of the individual pieces of equipment and the finish quality. Other issues that are a natural part of a manufacturing operation make it difficult for a manager to take the time to learn the details of air management   All of the equipment in the coating system uses air movement as part of the operation. The system is designed to move air of a certain volume, in a certain direction, at a certain velocity and maintain a certain temperature and humidity.

Air Volume
The volume of air is critical to the performance of the equipment and the overall system. The air volume from exhaust will set up a chain reaction of air movement and create a deman d for air supply. For every cubic foot a minute (CFM) of air that is exhausted, one cubic foot per minute will enter the building. Air management means having a deliberate supply of the proper volume of filtered and tempered air instead of allowing it to infiltrate through holes in the building. In a building that is exhausting air and  pulling in make-up air by infiltration a number of problems can occur with the performance of the equipment.

Air ManagementAir Control for the Equipment

Each piece of equipment has a need for air management. Powder booths, ovens, and washers can have problems related to lack of control over airflow.

Powder Booths
Powder booths are designed to provide containment of oversprayed powder. The reclaim system pulls the powder and air mixture to the filter system and collects the powder for reuse. Containment is accomplished by moving air at a specific velocity across the openings of the booth shell (100 to 140 fpm/30 to 43 mpm).  If the air speed into the booth is too fast, it will interfere with transfer efficiency. If it is too slow, overspray may migrate out of the booth and land on the parts in-progress or on other surfaces. Cross-drafts from openings in the building or improperly installed discharge duct can interfere with the booth containment air and pull powder out of the booth. Powder particles that escape the containment system of the booth are dirt particles that will create rejects.

If the building is under negative air pressure there is no control of air direction, volume or velocity. Powder may be allowed to migrate out of the spray booth and into the general atmosphere, creating a messy environment and wasting powder material. Cross-drafts occur and powder is lost from containment.

Also, air that infiltrates through openings in the building carries an excess amount of dirt into the building that may cause coating rejects. Airflow around the booth needs to be quiet and controlled. The ideal way to control the area around the booth and application area is by enclosing the spray booth in a separate application room and treating  the air inside the room independently from the rest of the building. The air in the room should be supplied through the use of an HVAC, an air handler that provides heating, ventilation and cooling. The HVAC system supplies enough outdoor air to maintain positive pressure in the room with a slight discharge at the product openings (around 0.01”
water column).

The HVAC controls the temperature between 60 and 80 °F (15.6 and 26.7 °C) and the humidity between 50 and 70% RH so that pressurization prevents unwanted cross drafts that might interfere with containment or with transfer efficiency.

The powder room should be big enough to provide space for the booth and all of the reclaim equipment. Operators must be able to move around the booth area without restriction. Clearance is necessary  for removal of cartridge modules from the booth for color change  And powder material must be stored with the powder room or in a separate air-conditioned room nearby.

Ovens

Ovens need supply air to avoid excessive heat roll-out and to keep exhaust gases and by-products of combustion from escaping into the building. The oven is usually slightly negative in pressure because of the exhaust. Air will move across the oven opening to make up for exhaust air.

If the air speed in the oven is too fast it can blow parts off the racks or powder off of the parts. If the air is not turned over fast enough through the proper exhaust volume, the oven interior may become saturated with gases and cause discoloration of the parts. The recirculation and the exhaust fan air volume and velocity is important to the function of the oven.


The product opening will have warm air migrating out around the top, due to expansion from heat, and cool air migrating in at the bottom to replenish air that is being exhausted. Air seals designed to contain the heat roll-out should have manifolds with slots that can be independently adjusted at the bottom and the top. This way, it is possible to aim the top slots in towards the oven interior a little and the bottom ones out a little to discourage the natural tendency of the air movement and create a more even air flow. This will reduce the heat roll-out and dirt infiltration.

Powered air curtains at the entrance of powder cure oven can cause uncured powder to be blown off of the parts. A cure oven entrance that is fitted with an infrared booster section or a heat relief hood is preferred to avoid disturbing the uncured powder.

In buildings that have negative air pressure, back-drafts can occur. This can cause the burners to go out or it can trip the oven airflowswitch and turn the oven off. A nuisance shut down in the oven will require a complete start-up cycle with an oven purge. Purge times can be as long as 30 minutes. Pressurization of the building prevents backdrafts.

Washers
The washer needs supply air in order for the exhaust fans to perform their job of vapor containment. If the air speed of the exhaust fan is  too fast, it will cause excessive moisture and chemical to be pulled up into the exhaust; too slow, and the vapor may roll out of the opening. Containment velocity for the washer should be between 150 and 200 feet per minute (45 to 61 meters per minute). In a building with negative air pressure it is common to have air movement that creates a wind-tunnel in the washer and carries vapor out of the opening, especially if the washer is in line with a dock door. Pressurization will prevent air from moving in one direction at a high enough velocity to disturb the containment air of the washer.  All of the equipment in the coating system will function best when the environment is controlled. Peak performance of coating materials and the efficient operation of the oven and washer depend on a reasonable and steady temperature.

Consider some of the benefits of properly filtered AMU:
• limited dirt infiltration
• no back-draft down exhaust stacks
• no condensation inside building
• proper air flow for containment of overspray in spray booths
• filtered supply air to all of the process equipment
• no flame-out of gas burners
• no accumulation of gases or smokes in the building
• no loss of water vapor from the washer
• the best possible worker comfort

Proper air management provides an opportunity to control the process. Process control is the tool used to track the operation and control the variables. Control of process variables can lead to the highest possible quality levels and the lowest operating cost. Control of air volume is essential to process control.
