| What Is Powder Coating? The powder coating process uses a solvent free dry mix of plastic resins, pigments and fillers that melt and fuse together when heated. The solid particles of coating are electrostatically charged in a spray gun and carried by low velocity air to the surface of the piece to be coated. The electrostatic charge holds the powder particles in place while the part is cured in a 400-degree oven. The heat of the oven causes a chemical reaction to occur and the powder to cure, creating a highly durable finish. |
More Durable
Powder coating gives consumers, businesses, and industry one of the
most economical, longest-lasting, and most color-durable quality finishes
available.
Powder coated surfaces are more resistant to chipping, scratching,
fading, and wearing than other finishes. Color selection is virtually
unlimited with high and low gloss, metallic, and clear finishes available.
And colors stay bright and vibrant longer. Texture selections range from
smooth surfaces to a wrinkled or matte finish, and rough textures
designed for hiding surface imperfections.
Protects the Environment
Powder coating is also highly protective of our environment. While liquid
finishes contain solvents which have pollutants known as volatile organic
compounds (VOCs), powder coating contains no solvents and releases
negligible amounts, if any, of VOCs into the atmosphere. Thus, there is no
longer a need for finishers to buy costly pollution control equipment. In
addition, most powder coating overspray that does not adhere to the part
can be retrieved and reused, virtually eliminating the waste commonly
found in liquid finishing processes.
Saves Money
Elimination of VOCs and reduction of wastes saves money and helps
companies comply more easily and economically with the regulations of
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
In fact, one of the major elements in expanding the market for powder
coating has been the implementation over the past 30 years of stringent
air pollution control legislation
