Powder Coating
Powder coatings have become one of the most widely used finishing methods in industrial paint shops. Powder coating is a dry finishing process that applies a free-flowing, thermoplastic or thermoset powder to a surface. Unlike liquid paint, it requires no solvent. The powder is applied using an electrostatic spray gun, which gives the particles a positive charge. These charged particles adhere to the grounded workpiece and are then cured in an oven, where heat causes the powder to melt, flow, and form a durable, uniform film.
Powder coating offers key advantages. It produces a thicker, more consistent finish without runs or sags. Overspray can be collected and reused, which reduces material waste significantly. Powder coatings also emit near-zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making them a environmentally responsible choice.
