It Looks Like Paint But It Acts Like Armor
It's tough. It looks great. And it lasts a long, long time. Powder coating
is a superior finish that's found on hundreds of products you come in
contact with each day. It makes products durable, attractive, and
scratch-resistant, too.
How Does It Work?
Powder coating is a dry finishing process. Finely ground particles of
pigment and resin are electrostatically charged and sprayed onto the
products to be coated.
The parts to be coated are electrically grounded, so that the charged
particles adhere to them until 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 are released into the air. In addition, unused or over-sprayed powder
can be recovered, so any waste is minimal and can be disposed of easily and
safely.
