Efficient infrared absorption system for edge sealing medium density fiberboard (MDF) and other engineered wood laminates using powder and liquid coatings

A method for electrostatic deposition and curing of a material on a product having a plurality of edges and faces, the method comprising:

• providing a continuous conveyor track for sequentially delivering the product to a preheat oven, a primer booth, a gel oven, a top coat booth, and a cure oven;
• preheating the product in the preheat oven with at least one preheat catalytic heater, wherein the preheat oven is adaptable to heat the product to approximately 200 degrees Fahrenheit, to create a preheated product;
• priming the preheated product in the primer booth adaptable to coat the plurality of edges and faces of the preheated product conveyed from the preheat oven with the material, to create a primed preheated product;
• heating the primed preheated product in the gel oven with a catalytic heater, wherein the gel oven is adaptable to heat the rimed preheated product conveyed from the primer booth to approximately 300 degrees Fahrenheit, to create a gelled product;
• top coating the gelled product in the top coat booth adaptable to top coat the plurality of faces and edges of the gelled product conveyed from the gel oven with a top coat, to create a top coated product having top coated faces and edges;
• and
• curing the edges of the top coated product before curing the faces of the top coated product in the cure oven adaptable to heat the top coated product conveyed from the top coat booth to approximately 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
