Electrostatic powder application and LPG-fired curing ovens delivering durable, corrosion-resistant, and aesthetically superior surface finishes.
Powder coating involves applying a dry thermoset or thermoplastic powder electrostatically, then curing in an oven at 180-220°C for 10-20 minutes. LPG-fired convection ovens provide the uniform heat distribution essential for achieving consistent film thickness, gloss levels, and cross-linking density across complex 3D part geometries.
LPG is the preferred fuel for powder coating ovens due to low moisture output (vs. steam heating), fast heat-up, precise temperature control, and lower infrastructure cost vs. electrical alternatives. Widely used for automotive body parts, metal furniture, appliance panels, and architectural aluminium.
Gas convection ovens distribute heat evenly around complex part geometries - eliminating cold spots that cause under-cure.
LPG ovens reach operating temperature in 15-20 minutes versus 45+ minutes for electric alternatives.
LPG produces less water vapour than natural gas, reducing humidity inside the cure oven for better finish quality.
LPG-fired ovens have 25-35% lower energy costs than equivalent electric resistance ovens for powder curing.
Bulk piped LPG supply is also available for high-volume consumers. Contact BPCL to discuss your requirements.
