Powder Coating Process and Benefits

Powder coating is a completely dry finishing process. Finely ground particles of pigment and resin are electrostatically charged and sprayed onto the products to be powder coated.

The parts to be powder coated are electrically grounded - so that the charged particles adhere to the parts until the powder is melted and fused into a solid coating in a curing oven.

The result is an attractive, durable, high-quality finish. The powder coating process itself offers another advantage - it is environmentally friendly . . . virtually pollution-free!

Unlike liquid paint, no solvents are used - so only negligible amounts of VOCs (volatile organic compounds), if any, are released into the atmosphere. Additionally, unused or oversprayed powder can be recovered - so any waste is minimal and can be disposed of easily, safely, and environmentally soundly.
