A lacquer curing oven cures the base-coat and top-coat lacquers used in vacuum metallizing of plastic, metal and glass articles. The base coat gives a smooth, sealed surface for the metal layer to adhere to, and the top coat protects the thin metal film. Both coats must be cured fully and evenly for good adhesion and gloss.
MV International has designed lacquer curing ovens specifically for the vacuum metallizing industry, drawing on more than 30 years of oven manufacturing experience. Batch trolley and conveyor versions are available, with dust-controlled air.

How the Lacquer Curing Oven Works
After spray or dip lacquering, articles are loaded on racks and placed in the oven. Filtered warm air removes solvent and cures the lacquer at the specified temperature. After metallizing, the top coat is cured in the same way.

Lacquer Curing Oven FAQs
What temperature is used for lacquer curing?
Typically 60-90°C for plastics and higher for metal or glass, according to the lacquer supplier.
Why is filtered air important?
Dust on wet lacquer shows up as defects after metallizing, so the air entering the oven is filtered.
Can UV lacquers be cured?
UV lacquers need a UV curing system. Our ovens are used for flash-off and thermal-cure lacquers.
What is the price of a Lacquer Curing Oven?
The price of a lacquer curing oven depends on chamber size, maximum temperature, heating media (electric, gas, diesel or steam), material of construction and the control system. Share your load details, process temperature and cycle time, and MV International will send a detailed quotation, usually within 24 hours.
