PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY | DUST REDUCTION IN POWDER COATINGS
From 1 October 2021, powder mixtures containing at least1 % titanium dioxide with a particle size ≤ 10 µm are requiredby law to carry a warning label alerting users to apossible formation of respirable dusts or droplets. To waive this labellingrequirement, we have developed a process that reduces thecontent of TiO2-fine dust (particle size ≤ 10 µm) in the powdercoating to values below 1 %.
