Minimalist Scandinavian Aesthetics

Modern architectural projects increasingly specify seamless all-white interior doors, requiring lock cylinders finished in Matt Pure White (RAL 9016 / 9003).

Electrostatic Powder Coating Protocol

  1. Pre-Treatment: Zinc phosphate immersion on solid brass to promote adhesion.
  2. Electrostatic Application: Architectural grade TGIC-free polyester powder sprayed at 60–80 kV.
  3. Curing & Performance: Baked at 200°C for 15 minutes, producing a 60–80 μm durable coat with ASTM D3363 3H pencil hardness and UV chalking resistance.

Frequently Asked Engineering & Selection Questions

Q1: How durable is white powder coating on lock cylinders?

High-grade architectural polyester baked at 200°C provides 3H pencil hardness and 480+ hours salt spray resistance, resisting chipping around keyways.
