Description
A hard, glossy paint or varnish that requires baking at temperatures greater than 65C (150F) for the development of desired properties (ASTM). Baked enamel finishes are typically made with an oil-resin or synthetic resin (alkyd, melamine, Epoxy, Cellulose nitrate, or urea) binder. They are either sprayed or painted onto a metal surface then baked to drive off the solvent and any other volatile components. This produces a uniform, dense, tough finish that is very wear resistant. Baked enamel finishes are often used as metal coatings, such as found on kitchen appliances. Many enamel paints have been replaced by powder applied coatings.
