Powder coating is a dry coating process used as a metal finish mostly on industrial equipment. Powder coating is applied as dry powder through an electrostatic process, then cured with heat. It is well known for providing high-quality finishes in terms of both functionality and overall look.

The powder coating finishes are not only sturdy but flexible as well. It can be used on different surfaces, including metal, concrete, steel, and plastic. It’s suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, and it’s one of the most cost-effective finish options.

There are two types of powder coatings: thermosets and thermoplastics.

Thermoplastic Powder Coating becomes liquid and very soft when heated. This removes chemical bonds. This process makes the powder coating reversible and reusable.

thermoplastic coatings tend to be thicker than thermoset coatings, making them more durable. For this reason, it can be used in various metal products, auto parts and even refrigerators.

Powder coating does not require air drying or flash off time. Stack parts closer together and automatically coat more parts than some liquid coating systems. Because powder coatings have less dripping, the scrap rate due to appearance problems is greatly reduced.

Powder coating operations require minimal operator training and supervision when compared to other coating techniques. Employees generally prefer using dry powder over liquid paint because it minimizes stains on housekeeping and clothing. It also makes it easier to comply with federal and state regulations, saving you time and money. In short, powder coating can achieve five things: economy, efficiency, energy savings, environmental sustainability and superior surface quality.
