Introduction


Waterborne aluminium powder coating on nylon+fiberglass composite materials is an amazing technology that ingeniously combines nylon and fibreglass to give a unique metallic appearance to the coating. This innovative CNC powder coating technique has been widely used in various industries, from automotive manufacturing to home decoration, bringing distinct textures and visual effects to products.


What is waterborne aluminium powder coating on (nylon+fiberglass) composite materials?


Waterborne aluminium powder coating on nylon+fiberglass composite materials is a coating technique that combines nylon and fibreglass materials and applies waterborne aluminium powder coating on their surface to create a metallic appearance. This technology combines strength, lightweight and aesthetics, making the material applicable in multiple fields.

Advantages of Fiberglass Composite Materials


Fiberglass composite materials have excellent mechanical properties such as high strength, rigidity and corrosion resistance. Combining them with materials like nylon can leverage the advantages of both materials to create more distinctive composite materials. In addition, these composite materials also have lower density, which helps reduce overall weight.


The Wonderful Charm of Waterborne Aluminum Powder Coating


Waterborne aluminum powder coating gives the composite material a metallic texture, making it look like a real metal product. This coating is not only weather resistant but also effectively protects the material from erosion by the external environment, thereby extending the product's service life.

Key Steps in the Preparation Process


1. Surface treatment: Ensure no contamination of the coating

Ensure the surface is clean and dry, free of oils, contaminants or other substances that may affect adhesion. Wipe lightly with a small amount of acetone or alcohol to remove surface contaminants.


2. Primer: Enhance subsequent processes

Select water-based epoxy or polyurethane primer suitable for fiberglass composite materials to increase adhesion. Spray a thin layer of primer to form a sealed paint film on the surface.


3. Surfacer coating: Improve coating smoothness

Polyester or acrylic surfacer can be used with water-based primer. Dilute the surfacer to spray viscosity and apply a thin layer to fill surface pores.


4. Sanding and restoration: Sand for perfect texture

After the primer dries, the coating surface may need slight sanding for an even smoother texture. Bubbles, sagging or other issues during coating need to be repaired and smoothed out to ensure final coating quality.


5. Topcoat: Give texture and appearance

Use water-based polyurethane or acrylic topcoat specially formulated for fiberglass composite materials. Ensure compatibility with primer and surfacer. Apply 2-3 layers of topcoat with 30-40μm wet film thickness per layer, bake at 140-160°C for 20-30mins between each layer.


6. Clear coat: Enhance coating protection

If needed, a transparent water-based clear coat can be applied over the waterborne aluminum powder coating. This can further enhance the coating's protective properties, increasing its wear resistance and weather resistance, thus prolonging the service life of the coated surface.

Following the above steps creates an excellent coating with glossy appearance and water/corrosion resistance, increasing the service life of products made from the fiberglass composite material.


Wide Range of Applications


Waterborne aluminum powder coating on nylon+fiberglass composite materials has a wide range of applications. In automotive manufacturing, it can be used for car body coating to give cars a more futuristic look. In construction, this technology can be used for indoor and outdoor decoration to create unique metallic texture effects. It also has potential applications in home furnishings, marine vessels, electronics and more.

How to Maintain the Coating?


To maintain the appearance and durability of the coating, regular cleaning and maintenance is needed. Use mild detergents and soft cloths, avoiding corrosive substances. Periodically check for wear or damage to the coating and repair in a timely manner to prolong coating life.
