POWDER COATING
2
What is Powder Coating? Powder coating uses 100
resin in a dry, powdered form. Powder coating
works on the principle that opposite charges
attract. The powder is pneumatically fed from a
reservoir through a spray gun where the powder
gains a low amperage, high-voltage positive
charge. Parts to be painted are electrically
grounded so that the positively charged powder
particles are strongly attracted to the parts
surfaces. The powder-coated part is then placed
in an oven where the powder melts and fuses into
a smooth coating.

Advantages Durability Powder coated surfaces are
more resistant to chipping, scratching, fading,
and wearing than other finishes

ROI Elimination of VOCs and reduction of wastes
saves money and helps companies comply more
easily and economically with the regulations of
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The
durability factor also adds to the cost saving of
recoating the item over a long period of time.
This allows companies who use powder paint to
continue operations for longer periods with out
having to replace or recoat parts.

Superior Finish The curing process of the powder
paint gives coated item an advanced finish that
comes out much smoother than any epoxy paint. The
surface variation of powder paint can range from
high gloss to matted or furrowed finishes

Environmentally Friendly While liquid finishes
contain solvents which have pollutants known as
volatile organic compounds (VOCs), powder coating
contains no solvents and releases negligible
amounts, if any, of VOCs into the atmosphere.
