Advantages of powder coating instead of other coatings
Powder coatings contain no solvents and release little or no amount of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) into the atmosphere. Thus, there is no longer a need for finishers to buy costly pollution control equipment.
Powder coatings can produce much thicker coatings than conventional liquid coatings without running or sagging.
Powder coated items generally have fewer appearance differences between horizontally coated surfaces and vertically coated surfaces than liquid coated items.
The wide range of speciality effects are easily accomplished using powder coatings that would be impossible to achieve with other coating processes.
Curing time is significantly faster with powder coating as compared to liquid coating.
The powder coating process
The powder coating process involves three basic steps:
-Part preparation or the pre-treatment
-The powder application
-Curing
