Aluminum profile wood grain effect heat transfer process detailed instructions

Wood grain effect aluminum profile, based on powder-coated or electrophoresis coating aluminum surface treatment, according to the principle of high-temperature sublimation heat penetration, through the heating and the pressure, the wood grain pattern of the paper or the film will be transferred to powder-coated aluminum profile or electrophoresis coating aluminum profile.

This vacuum wood grain effect heat transfer will make aluminum profile wood grain pattern clear, three-dimensional sense, close to the natural feeling of wood grain, which is an ideal energy-saving and environmentally friendly material to replace the solid wood materials.

You may wonder what is the process that make this brilliant product!

Now let us check the story behind it.

Step 1: Pre-paint processing

Pre-painting treatment includes degreasing (oil removal), rust removal, phosphating three parts.

Phosphating is the main work, and degreasing and rust removal is the preparation process before phosphating.

The workpiece will be washed after degreasing and rust removal, and the main purpose of the washing is to clean the surface of the workpiece thoroughly.

The metal workpiece is then treated with an acidic solution containing dihydrogen phosphate to form a stable layer of insoluble phosphate on the surface, ie, a phosphating film. The main purpose of the phosphate film is to increase the film adhesion and improve the corrosion resistance of the coating.

Step 2: Powder-coated on the workpiece

The powder needs to use a special powder for heat transfer, otherwise, it can not meet the wood grain heat transfer requirement.

Step 3: Cover with wood grain paper or film

Cover powder-coated aluminum profile with wood grain paper, then cover plastic bag for the sealing or cover powder-coated aluminum profile with wood grain film.

Step 4: Sublimation process

Send the workpiece with wood grain paper or film into vacuum wood grain effect heat transfer machine for vacuum-curing.

The curing temperature and time duration should be adjusted based on the characteristics of the transferred substrate, and the depth of the texture to be transferred, usually the transfer temperature is 160 ~ 180 °C, time is 10 ~ 15 minutes.

Step 5: Paper or film removing

Finish the wood grain effect heat transfer machine, remove the wood grain paper or film through aluminum profile, clean the surface of aluminum profile, quality control for the wood grain effect aluminum profile and make the packaging, then delivery.

That is the story behind it and also it is for aluminum profile wood grain effect heat transfer process detailed instructions!
