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 an oven. The heat of the oven causes a chemical reaction to occur and the powder to cure, creating a highly durable finish.
Is it Environmentally Friendly?
Powder coating is an environmentally friendly process unlike solvent based wet paint systems. With EPA regulations growing ever stricter, powder coating is fast becoming the technology of choice. Since the powder coating process does not use solvents in any way, VOC emission problems are eliminated.
How Durable is Powder Coating?
Powder Coatings resist cracking and peeling and are extremely abrasion corrosion and chemical resistant, but is not a rust inhibitor. The performance characteristics of powder coating match or exceed the characteristics achieved from conventional solvent based coatings.
