Curing/Drying

Curing or drying substrates is a critical step in the finishing process, particularly in industries such as automotive, aerospace, furniture, and construction. Curing refers to the process of allowing the paint to dry and harden, forming a durable and protective finish.

Curing or drying the substrate before it is stacked or shipped. Coatings can be cured in an oven or dried with a fan or blower, depending on the size of the project. The curing/drying process involves applying heat to the painted surface to promote chemical reactions that result in the hardening or cross-linking of the paint, leading to a durable and resilient finish.

For large projects, a curing oven is recommended, but for smaller projects, you may only need a dry blow gun. The goal is to ensure that the entire thickness of the paint layer reaches the required temperature for the specified time, promoting complete curing.
