Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of helmet manufacturing, and specifically relates to a helmet color paint spraying process. Background Technology

[0002] Crackle paint produces uniform, natural crackles, a characteristic that is increasingly being used to decorate surfaces and express a classic, nostalgic aesthetic. The mechanism of crackle paint involves changes in the paint's viscosity, surface tension, and curing speed, causing shrinkage of the coating surface and creating the crack effect. Traditionally, crackle paint is used in architectural decoration. After spraying the paint onto a building surface, it needs to be allowed to air dry for several hours to fully develop the cracks. However, when applying crackle paint to helmets, air drying is too inefficient to meet production requirements; while traditional baking methods for paint can easily cause peeling, failing to meet quality standards. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Step 2: Preparation of crackle topcoat.

[0007] Step 3: First, evenly spray the crack primer thinner prepared in Step 1 onto the helmet surface. After the helmet surface dries for 2-5 minutes, evenly spray the crack topcoat thinner prepared in Step 2 onto the helmet surface. After the helmet surface dries for 10-15 minutes, transfer it to an oven and bake it for 10-20 minutes with the temperature increasing in a stepwise manner, while controlling the temperature within the range of 40-80 degrees Celsius.

[0008] The helmet crack paint spraying process is characterized in that: in step 3, the temperature is increased in a stepwise manner, and is divided into at least three stages: the first stage is baked at a temperature of 40-45 degrees for 8-12 minutes, the second stage is baked at a temperature of 60-65 degrees for 5-10 minutes, and the third stage is baked at a temperature of 70-80 degrees for 4-6 minutes.

[0009] The helmet crack paint spraying process is characterized by the following: the first stage temperature is 45 degrees Celsius and baking time is 10 minutes; the second stage temperature is 65 degrees Celsius and baking time is 5 minutes; and the third stage temperature is 80 degrees Celsius and baking time is 3 minutes.

[0010] The helmet crack paint spraying process is characterized in that: in step 3, the humidity inside the oven is <40%.

[0011] The helmet crack paint spraying process is characterized in that the cracking agent is a water-based cracking agent.

[0012] The helmet crack paint spraying process is characterized in that: the color paste includes a mixture of carbon black and titanium dioxide.

[0013] The advantages of the helmet crack paint spraying process of the present invention are as follows: the helmet is baked by a step-by-step temperature increase method, which improves production efficiency and effectively prevents the paint surface from peeling.
