Powder coating uses dry, powdered resin that is electrostatically charged and sprayed onto grounded metal parts. The coated parts are then baked in an oven, where the powder melts and fuses to form a smooth protective coating. Powder coating provides superior durability and finish compared to liquid paints. It is more environmentally friendly as there are no volatile organic compounds released during application or curing.

1. POWDER COATING

2. What is Powder Coating?
Powder coating uses 100% resin in a dry, powdered form. Powder coating works
on the principle that opposite charges attract. The powder is pneumatically fed
from a reservoir through a spray gun where the powder gains a low amperage,
high-voltage positive charge. Parts to be painted are electrically grounded so that
the positively charged powder particles are strongly attracted to the parts’
surfaces. The powder-coated part is then placed in an oven where the powder
melts and fuses into a smooth coating.

3. Advantages:
Durability
Powder coated surfaces are more resistant to chipping, scratching, fading, and
wearing than other finishes

4. ROI
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. The durability factor also adds to the cost
saving of recoating the item over a long period of time. This allows companies
who use powder paint to continue operations for longer periods with out having
to replace or recoat parts.

5. Superior Finish
The curing process of the powder paint gives coated item an advanced finish that
comes out much smoother than any epoxy paint. The surface variation of powder
paint can range from high gloss to matted or furrowed finishes

6. Environmentally Friendly
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.
