Abstract
The present document describes methods for drying an aqueous priming coating composition covering an external surface exposed to air of a carbon material, or an aqueous coating composition covering an intermediate substrate covering an external surface exposed to air of a carbon material, to form a layer thereon. Also described are systems for drying a coating composition covering a surface of a carbon material.
Claims17
A system for drying a coating composition covering a surface of a carbon material, the system comprising:
- a temperature controlled environment configured to provide temperatures from about 70° C. to about 130° C.;
- means to provide forced air, configured to provide said forced air at a temperature of from about 80° C. to about 275° C., a velocity of about 2 to about 22 m/s, and a relative humidity of 15% or less;
- an actinic infrared radiation source;
- wherein said means to provide forced air and said actinic infrared radiation source are configured to direct forced air and actinic infrared radiation onto said surface of a carbon material to provide a drying action.
A system for drying an aqueous coating composition covering an intermediate substrate covering an external surface exposed to air of a carbon material, the system comprising:
- a temperature controlled environment configured to provide a temperature of about 900° C. to 1100° C.;
- means to gradually move said carbon material toward a heat source providing said environment with a temperature of about 900° C. to 1100° C.
