FACT SHEET
ABOUT POWDERCOATING….
Powder coating remains the fastest growing industrial finishing method in North Americahaving been well established in Europe and the Far East for quite sometime. Over 5,000 industrial finishers in North America apply powder to a countless array of products for a high quality and durable finish resisting scratches, corrosion, abrasion, chemicals and detergents. The powder coating process also maximizes production, cut costs, improves efficiency and offers maximum compliance with environmental regulations.
THE PROCESS…
Powder coating is a dry finishing process using finely ground particles of pigment and resin, electrostatically charged and sprayed onto a part to be coated. The parts to be coated are electrically grounded so that charged particles projected adhere to the surface and are held there until melted and fused into a smooth coating in the curing oven. The result is a uniform, durable, high quality finish. LIQUID vs POWDER POWDER COATING
| LIQUID PAINTING | | Solvent free/lead free | Most contain solvents/some lead | | No hazardous waste/overspray can be reclaimed | Produces VOC’s on curing/Overspray is hazardous waste | Excellent mechanical properties re: abrasion, Impact resistance, UV stability, corrosion, chemical resistance | Relatively Inferior mech. properties
