Flash Cure Elite Series & H-Series



Flash Cure is a partial cure process accomplished by heating part(s) between 150°F-180°F (65°C - 82°C) for 10-30 minutes to allow the coating to become tack-free, but not fully cured.


Flash curing is a general practice to promote inter-coat adhesion when layering coatings for custom projects. This allows the parts to be handled while maintaining an adequate adhesion window for additional coating layers.


Tack-free time will vary depending on the substrate and substrate density. Under-cured parts will remain tacky and cause coating delamination from the substrate. Over-cured parts will prohibit additional coating layers from properly adhering to previous coating layers.
