subject: Powder coating machine [print this page] In the present invention, an example of a method for measuring triboelectric charges of each of powder coating is as follows. First, a coating powder is applied using the coating machine and the substrate to be coated under working conditions but without curing. After air blowing-off of the powder from the substrate, a difference in voltage owing to the efflux of electric charges from the substrate and the amount of the powder coatings removed are measured. Alternatively, as a simple method, the triboelectric charge is measured by a blow-off method when each of the powder coatings is blended with various powder coatings having particle sizes larger than that of the powder coating to be tested.
