Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of storage and maintenance of thermosetting powder coatings, in particular to an anti-oxidation device for thermosetting powder coatings. Background Art

[0002] Thermosetting powder coating is a new type of powder material with resin powder as the main raw material. It can harden on the surface of an object after heating, providing effective physical protection for the surface of the object. It is a new type of material widely used in furniture production, decoration and industrial sheet material production industries.

[0003] Thermosetting powder coatings may change color during storage. The main reason is that the oxygen in the air undergoes an oxidation reaction with the active powder material in the material, resulting in color change. However, most existing storage methods for this material lack anti-oxidation design. The powder is very easy to oxidize during storage, resulting in a short storage time and a decrease in quality after storage.
