Fluidized bed powder coating is a process where a pre-heated part is dipped into a tank of fluidized thermoplastic powder, which is typically PVC or nylon. This work creates a beautiful and durable conformal coating for the surface of metal parts, machinery and equipment with a plastic film to protect against corrosion and environmental effect. In the shipbuilding industry, the fluidized bed powder coating method has been applied to the interior details, shell machinery and marine equipment. However, the application to the surface of the propeller has not been popular. This paper presents a study on the applicability of fluidized bed powder coating to surfaces of propeller. The authors have conducted research and experiments for a three-blade ship propeller. Research has compared the performance of the initial propeller and itself after applying the fluidized bed powder coating method. From research study result, the authors make an assessment and recommendations for the application of fluidized bed powder coating to propeller blade surfaces in shipbuilding.
