The painted parts then travel into the cure oven. The oven is preset to the manufacturer's heat specifications, which can range from 250-500°. As the powder heats up, it fluidizes and seals around the part to a uniform thickness. Parts remain in the oven for a prescribed time to ensure a proper finish.
(Manufacturers of powder paint are constantly working on low cure paints. There are now paints that cure at temperatures lower than 200° and some that can be cured by UV light.)
