Dry and Wet Powder Enamel, Which Cost Higher?

What kind of production process is used in enamel directly determines the level and quality of the product. The enamel factory will choose the enamel process according to the metal type, shape, and volume quality of the green body. Generally, it is divided into two categories: wet enamel coating and dry enamel coating. So which one costs more, dry powder enamel or wet powder enamel? What are the advantages and disadvantages? How to choose an enamel factory? After reading this article, I believe you will have the answer.

(1) Dry powder enamel

Dry powder enamel is the abbreviation of electrostatic dry powder automatic adsorption process, also known as electrostatic enamel. The enamel powder is electrostatically sprayed, adsorbed on the metal surface, and then sintered at a high temperature above 800 °C, so that the expansion coefficient of the enamel powder and the steel plate can be nearly the same. The biggest advantage of dry electrostatic enamel coating is that the utilization rate of enamel can reach 97%~98%. The enamel dry powder can be used directly without grinding the enamel slurry. high.

The service life of dry powder enamel is 2~3 times that of ordinary wet enamel, but the cost is also 2 times. The equipment of dry powder enamel is expensive and suitable for powerful enamel manufacturers. Dry powder enamel is a high-quality advanced process, generally used in enamel ovens, water heaters, microwave ovens, washing machines and other household appliances, and gradually extended to kitchen utensils and wall panels.

(2) Wet enamel

Enamel powder and other raw materials are ground into enamel slurry with water, and then enamel is applied to the surface of the casting and then sintered at high temperature. Because the liquid spraying process is not like electrostatic spraying, it is easy to flow unevenly, and it will cause enamel defects such as blasting in case of shocks. However, the investment in equipment is small, the price is cheap, and the production is simple. The enamel products made by this process are often used in enamel products such as daily necessities and decorations.
