OneCure is a patented dust-on-dust (DoD) powder-coating system that allows primer and topcoat to cure together in a single bake. OneCure has transformed finishing operations for original equipment manufacturers (OEM) needing speed, durability and consistency at scale. Built from multiple DoD systems proven in the field for more than 15 years, the portfolio enables manufacturers in transportation, heavy equipment and energy to streamline operational efficiency and improve coating performance while reducing energy consumption and process complexity. The system uses a patented crosslinking process so primer and topcoat cure at once, enhancing intercoat adhesion, and removes a second bake cycle and reduces material handling. It lowers energy use and the amount of production floor and oven space required, and also improves coating uniformity and edge coverage while delivering lasting corrosion resistance. OneCure supports multiple primer chemistries (super-durable polyester, polyester/epoxy hybrid, epoxy and zinc-rich epoxy) to work with a single super-durable polyester topcoat. Customer results have reported: 30%-40% faster cycle times versus a traditional two-bake system; Up to 75% fewer corrosion-related claims versus a direct-to-metal system; Up to 50% reduction in work-in-process inventory versus traditional two-bake systems; and Up to 50% reduction in footprint to designated part-finishing areas. — Sherwin-Williams General Industrial Coatings, Minneapolis, Minn.
