Powder Coatings Reprocessing
PROTOL POWDER COATINGS A new company called Protol Powder Coatings Ltd has recently been established to service the specific requirements of the powder coatings industry (or similar industries involved with thermoplastic or thermosetting materials). In the course of routine manufacture, powder paint "fines" are produced which are not acceptable to the spray coaters. Given the very small particle size of these fines it is extremely difficult to reincorporate them into a product mix for re-extrusion. Protol has developed and patented a process which converts the fines into a robust granule which can be reincorporated into a formulation blend at high concentrations (up to 100%) and thus suitably reworked with no deterioration of the quality of the coating or the extruder processing efficiency. This granulation technology plus the ability to blend products in a 5MT single batch, has enabled the powder coatings industry to move to a zero waste option by reprocessing its fines and blending off specification and slow moving stock to 5MT batches of uniform colour that can then be reworked. The granulation process can be operated on a batch basis for quantities as low as 100kg or on a continuous plant for large scale recycling. In addition to the considerable cost savings these processes offer the powder coatings industry, the benefit to the environment of not dumping or incinerating such large quantities of material is substantial. The development of the "Zero Waste Option" for an entire industry such as powder coatings was a direct result of Protol's flexibility, ingenuity and problem solving capabilities.
