Abstract
The aim of this work is to study the infrared drying and curing kineti cs of a model waterbased epoxy-amine painting coated on iron support. After a presentation of the model painting elaborated in our laborator y, experimental and theoretical data of the curing kinetics are presen ted. Then, we described the special laboratory-scale infrared dryer se t up in our laboratory. This dryer was able to carry on drying experim ents with uniform infrared flux densities between 0 to 25 kW.m(-2). Th e study of the painting drying as a function of the infrared flux dens ity and of the film thickness shows the influence of these two main ph ysical parameters.
