Benefits of Powder Coatings |
 |
 |
|
Powder coating is a very versatile coating process that offers numerous consumer benefits that conventional liquid coatings are unable to provide. Below are some of the key benefits that are derived from powder coating.
Efficiency
The powder coating process is much more efficient than standard liquid coating methods. Powder coating produces no drips, runs or sags and the process requires no drying or flash-off time. The powder coating process allows more parts to be coated in a shorter period of time with significantly lower rejection rates than standard liquid coating.

Introduction of powder coatings |
|
|
|
The powder coating process uses very fine dry particles of resin with the pigment color of your choice. The resin powder is applied with a spray gun similar in concept to applying solvent based paint. The difference is that this spray gun and its resin contents have an electrostatic charge. When the resin powder is sprayed onto a part it sticks to the metal because it's grounded, attracting charged resin powder like a magnet. The charged powder adheres to the metal then is melted by baking at 400F degrees in special industrial sized ovens. The melted resin fuses to the metal, providing a uniform, thick and durable finish.
