In the field of modern industrial warehousing, the multi-layer powder-coated tire storage racks in the workshop have become a reliable choice for tire storage due to their excellent protective performance. Its core advantage lies in the protection system constructed on the surface of the storage rack by the powder spraying process. This system effectively resists the erosion of the external environment through a unique coating formation mechanism and physical and chemical effects, ensuring the long-term and stable use of the storage rack under complex working conditions.
Powder spraying is a dry coating technology based on electrostatic adsorption and high-temperature curing. In the production process of the multi-layer tire storage rack in the workshop, the powder coating is first atomized by an electrostatic spray gun to make its particles negatively charged. Because the metal substrate of the storage rack is grounded, under the action of the electrostatic field, the negatively charged powder particles are evenly adsorbed on the surface of the storage rack to form an initial layer of powder coating. Subsequently, the storage rack enters the high-temperature curing furnace. In a temperature environment of 180℃ - 220℃, the powder particles undergo melting, leveling and cross-linking reactions, and finally solidify into a continuous and dense coating. This process not only achieves a close combination of the coating and the metal substrate, but also gives the coating excellent physical and chemical properties.
The cured coating is like a protective armor tailored for the storage rack. Its dense structure blocks the direct contact between the external environment and the metal substrate from a physical level. The high molecular polymers inside the coating are cross-linked to form a three-dimensional network structure, and the intermolecular force is strong, which effectively prevents the penetration of water molecules, oxygen and corrosive chemicals. When the storage rack is in a humid workshop environment, water molecules are difficult to penetrate the coating, which prevents the metal substrate from rusting due to electrochemical corrosion; in scenarios where it may be exposed to chemicals such as acids and alkalis, the chemical inertness of the coating can resist the erosion of these substances and prevent the metal from being damaged by chemical reactions.
From the perspective of mechanical properties, the coating formed by powder spraying has good flexibility and hardness. In the daily use of the storage rack, frequent storage and retrieval of goods may cause collisions and friction on the surface. The flexibility of the coating enables it to deform to a certain extent when it is impacted by external forces, absorb energy, and prevent the coating from cracking or falling off; and the appropriate hardness ensures that the coating is not easily scratched by sharp objects, maintaining the integrity of the protective layer. This combination of rigidity and flexibility ensures that the storage rack always maintains good protective performance during long-term use.
In addition, the adhesion between the coating and the metal substrate is also a key factor in protective performance. During the high-temperature curing process, the coating and the metal surface are tightly combined through physical adsorption, chemical bonding, etc. to form a strong interface. This bonding force makes the coating not easy to peel off under various environmental changes and continues to play a protective role. Even if the storage rack is used in an environment with extreme temperature changes, the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the coating and the metal substrate is small, which can effectively avoid cracking and shedding of the coating caused by thermal expansion and contraction.
The protective coating formed by the powder spraying process of the multi-layer powder spraying tire storage rack in the workshop builds a comprehensive protection system from multiple dimensions such as structure, chemistry, and mechanics. This system not only ensures the durability of the storage rack in a complex workshop environment, but also provides a safe and stable carrier for tire storage, demonstrating the excellent value of the powder spraying process in the field of industrial storage equipment protection.
