Flame retardant powder coating is often required to protect a wide range of products of both flammable and nonflammable against fire. It is an oldest, most efficient, and easiest method to apply any surface without modifying the intrinsic properties of materials. Moreover, the initial phase of fire always occurs on the surface by ignition, and hence, it is important to concentrate on the surface protection of a material. Being an organic nature of conventional surface coating will burn easily and generate smoke and toxic fumes, which may not be suitable for application where fire protection or fire prevention is required. Reaction-to-fire and/or resistance-to-fire are to be considered for assessing both flammable and non-flammable material by using fire retardant and fire resistant or fire protective coatings. The degree of fire retardation mainly depends on the coating thickness, substrates, and efficiency of formulations.

SUBSTRATES AND PRE-TREATMENT In order to obtain optimal anti-corrosion properties, it is recommended to apply a chemical pretreatmentprior to powder coating application.
Ferrous metals(cold rolled steel, cast iron etc.): Iron or zinc phosphatation
Zinc surfaces(galvanized steel, zinc alloy): Chromatinion or zinc phosphatation
Aluminum alloys : Chromatation
STORAGE
Should be stored under dry conditions with good ventilation at a temperature not exceeding28 C.
Storage period recommended should not exceed 12 months,in case exceeding 12 months without affecting their free flowing properties, the powder will still have optimal characteristics.
Should be protected from excessive heat,humidity,water and contamination with foreign materials such as powder, dust, dirt, etc.
Any leftover powder should be kept in an appropriate area that is cool and dry. Do not expose to the air too long as the powder properties may deteriorate with the moisture.
