Coatings need heat: Drying of water and water-based lacquers as well as gelling and curing of powder coatings. Infrared heat can be precisely matched to the type of coating. For example, medium wave infrared heat is absorbed especially well by water. Thus, it can dry water-based coatings in a targeted way. This saves costs and improves quality. For other coatings, IR heat transmits through the coating and heats the base material for a smooth drying process. Nano coatings get the required high temperatures reliably through infrared. Heraeus infrared emitters can often make drying processes considerably faster compared to traditional methods like hot air drying.
