2K Epoxy Primer — Cure Time & Application Guide

Full cure of 2K epoxy primer under conventional conditions can take 1–4 hours depending on temperature and humidity. Fannon's short-wave and fast medium-wave infrared systems dramatically shorten cure cycles by penetrating the coating layer directly, enabling faster throughput and consistent cure quality across automotive and industrial paint lines.

Short-wave and fast medium-wave infrared lamps are most effective for automotive primer curing. They provide instant heat response and deep penetration into coating layers. Fannon Products offers both lamp types in a wide range of wattages (250W–6000W+) and voltages to match your specific line requirements.

Yes. Fannon's infrared systems are engineered for both metal and plastic substrates. Medium-wave infrared is often preferred for plastics to avoid surface distortion, while the system's precise process control ensures the primer reaches cure temperature without damaging the underlying plastic component during welding, forming, or coating operations.

Wattage selection depends on part geometry, substrate material, conveyor speed, and coating thickness. Fannon Products' lamps range from 250W to over 6,000W. Their technical support team can evaluate your specific application and recommend the optimal wattage, wave type, and reflector configuration for efficient, uniform primer curing.

Fannon Products offers both individual replacement lamps and fully custom-engineered infrared ovens and systems. Custom systems are designed and manufactured to your exact process specifications, including conveyor integration, zone control, and reflector configuration. Standard lamp lines are also available and typically ship within 1–2 days from their Michigan facility.

Yes. Fannon's infrared systems support primer coat, color coat, clear coat, and powder coat curing on the same line. Their custom infrared ovens are designed for multi-stage automotive finishing processes, providing faster cycle times, improved coating adhesion, and greater energy efficiency compared to traditional convection oven methods.
