THE FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE
• Powder is applied the same
• Separation of melt and cure
• The result is a durable coating in
less time with less heat
Time + Energy = Money

• Estimated using current energy costs, electricity and natural gas, and a
standard oven configuration adjusted for increased time and output.
Actual results will be different based upon oven design and energy costs.
• Increasing the 1-minute melt time to 2 minutes increases kWh
consumption by 2.5kWh
Real life example:
Switching to UV cured powder eliminated baking the powder. Melting the
powder prior to UV curing reduced the oven requirement by 75% and increased
line speed (productivity) by >50% (from 13’ per minute to 20’ per minute).

Data
DATA by the Numbers

6. 2019: 50.3 billion pounds of
waterborne coatings were produced*
@ 70% water = 35.2 billion pounds of
water​ = 4.22 billion gallons of water
was used.
Estimating 5 years of waterborne
coating production will consume
enough water to supply the city of
Chicago for 21 days​.

Water Scarcity

7. The Cost to Ship the Water in a Gallon of Waterborne Paint
Transportation (In)Efficiency
1 gallon of waterborne paint
weighs an average of 10 lbs
The water content in 1 gal of
waterborne at 70% weighs
paint weights 5.88lbs
Fuel cost to operate a semi
truck $0.86/mile – Energy cost
$860/1,000 miles
1 semi truck carries 40,000 lbs
of paint containing 23,520 lbs
of water – 2,800 gallons
Fuel cost to ship the water
content 2,800 gals - $860 X
70% = $602/2,800 =
$0.215/gal/1,000 miles
Water is evaporated into the
atmosphere as the paint cures

9. Why do we need an Energy Earthshot™ for industrial heat? • It’s a big source
of emissions in the United States. In 2020, the industrial sector accounted for
33% of the nation’s primary energy use and 30% of energy-related carbon
dioxide (CO2) emissions. The industrial sector is uniquely difficult to
decarbonize, due in part to the variety of energy sources powering its vast
array of industrial processes and operations. Much of that energy demand is
used for a wide range of thermal operations in manufacturing. Industrial heat
accounts for about 9% of all domestic emissions in the United States.
Through the Industrial Heat Shot™, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has
established a goal of developing cost-competitive industrial heat
decarbonization technologies with at least 85% lower greenhouse gas
emissions by 2035. This would entail reducing the current emissions intensity
of industrial heat from an average of 65 kilograms of CO2-equivalent per 1
million British thermal units (65 kg CO2e/MMBtu) to 8.8 kg CO2e/MMBtu.
Innovate low- or no-heat process technologies: By promoting the use of new
chemistries and emerging biotechnologies, we can invent entirely new ways
to make products while producing less GHG emissions. These approaches use
little heat or entirely different mechanisms to transform materials.
▪ Examples of innovation in this field include bio-based manufacturing,
electrolysis, ultraviolet curing, and advanced separations.
What is industrial heat? What is it used for?
Industrial heating processes refer to the
many methods by which heat transforms
materials into useful products. Heat is
pervasive in manufacturing—it is used to
make everything from food to cement and
steel.
Just as we use heat in our homes in many
ways—to dry clothes, boil water, grill food,
etc.—manufacturers use heat to turn
materials into useful products (though at a
much larger scale and sometimes much
higher temperatures!).
