Powder and paint have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of coating needs to be determined according to the requirements.
1、 Characteristics of Powder Coatings
Powder coating is a process that solidifies the coating into a powder form before applying it to the surface of the wheel hub, and then solidifies and adheres at high temperatures. It has the following characteristics:
1.1 Environmental protection and pollution-free
Compared to traditional paints, powder coatings are more environmentally friendly and do not contain any harmful substances.
1.2 High Durability
Due to the high curing temperature of powder coatings, their hardness, viscosity, and durability are higher, and for ordinary wheels, their durability can reach more than 10 years.
1.3 Good color stability
The resistance of powder coatings to ultraviolet rays is currently relatively ideal. From the specific application effects and user feedback, it is suitable for products with color stability.
2、 Characteristics of paint
Paint is an organic solvent coating that contains harmful substances, but its physicochemical properties also have their own unique features:
2.1 Low Price
Compared to powder coatings, paint has a lower price, so it has a certain price advantage.
2.2 Wide application scope
Paint is suitable for all types of wheels, especially wheels of different sizes and materials, because it has stronger adaptability and is more popular among users.
2.3 Easy to color
In terms of wheel color, paint treatment is easier and more flexible. Better meet customized needs.
3、 How to choose paint?
From the above comparison, it can be seen that both powder coatings and paints have their own advantages and application ranges. Determine which coating to use based on actual needs:
3.1 If it is for the use needs of outdoor environments and pays attention to environmental protection, powder coating would be a better choice because it can withstand higher environmental temperatures and have brighter and more durable colors.
3.2 If the wheel hub is only used in the garage and can be completed within a few hours, it will be more suitable for wheel hub painting. It is a low-cost processing method, cheaper, and can meet some basic application needs to a certain extent.
3.3 If there are personalized requirements such as color, flexibility, etc., paint treatment is easier, so it can be considered to use paint treatment.
【 Conclusion 】
In summary, both powder coatings and paints have their advantages and applicability in wheel hub coating. The choice of coating should first be comprehensively considered based on the needs.
