BGK Gas Catalytic Infrared Ovens

Inside This Document

BGK's sheet on gas catalytic infrared ovens — the low-cost curing path when electricity prices rule out electric IR. Gas catalytic infrared heats what needs to be heated rather than the surrounding air, cutting cure time and energy; handles a large variety of finishing applications from oddly shaped parts to demanding substrates and complex coatings; and delivers higher productivity in a small footprint. The 2-page overview for evaluating gas catalytic curing on liquid and powder lines.
