Powder coating is an advanced method of applying a
decorative and protective finish to a wide range of
materials and products that are used by both industries and consumers.
The powder used for the process is a mixture of finely
ground particles of pigment and resin, which is sprayed
onto a surface to be coated. The charged powder particles
adhere to the electrically grounded surfaces until heated
and fused into a smooth coating in a curing oven.
The result is a uniform, durable, high-quality, and attractive finish.
Powder coating is the fastest-growing finishing technology in North America,
representing over 10% of all industrial finishing applications.
Powder coating gives consumers, businesses, and industry one of
the most economical, longest-lasting, and most color-durable quality
finishes available.
Protects the Environment
Powder coating is also highly protective of our environment.
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.
Thus, there is no longer a need for finishers to buy costly pollution control
equipment.
In addition, most powder coating overspray that does not adhere to the part can
be retrieved and reused,
virtually eliminating the waste commonly found in liquid finishing processes.
Saves Money
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.
In fact, one of the major elements in expanding the market
for powder coating has been the implementation over the past
30 years of stringent air pollution control legislation.
Thousands of products and parts are currently powder coated:
Appliances
The appliance industry benefits from powder
coating on front and side panels of ranges and refrigerators,
washer tops and lids, dryer drums, air-conditioner cabinets,
water heaters, dishwasher racks, and cavities of microwave ovens.
Powder coating has also replaced porcelain enamel on many washer and dryer
parts.
Automotive
The automotive industry uses powder
coating on wheels, bumpers, hubcaps,
door handles, decorative trim and accent parts,
truck beds, radiators, filters, and numerous engine parts.
A clean powder topcoat has been developed to protect auto bodies.
BMW and Volvo are using it on their new model cars, and GM, Ford,
and Chrysler have formed a consortium to test this technique on their production
lines.
Architecture/Building
Nowhere else are the benefits of architectural
powder coating more evident than on the thousands
of commercial, industrial, government, residential,
historic and institutional buildings from around the world.
For 30 years, powder coating has been the finish of choice for
a superior, more colorful, longer lasting and more durable finish.
Click here for a list of possible applications. Powder coating is
specified because of its durability, scratch resistance, gloss retention,
weatherability, resistance to chalking, the unlimited range of colors, finishes,
glosses and textures, the fact that it meets AAMA specifications and because it
is
an environmentally friendly finishing process, making it an important part of a
sustainable
or green building project that incorporates low-emitting products. Virtually any
part and any
product in your next project might lend itself to powder coating including metal, aluminum,
composites, wood, plastic, glass and ceramic. Powder coating is superior to
liquid paint, anodizing, PVDF and Kynar500®.
Everyday Products
There are also innumerable everyday uses for powder
coated products such as lighting fixtures, antennas,
and electrical components. Farmers have powder coated tractors and farm
equipment.
Fitness buffs use golf clubs and golf carts, ski poles and bindings,
snowmobiles, bicycles,
and exercise equipment that are powder coated. Shop owners have powder coated
display racks,
shelves, store fixtures, and vending machines. Office workers use metal
furniture, computer cabinets,
mechanical pencils and pens, thumbtacks, and other desk accessories that are
powder coated.
Parents have powder coated baby strollers, cribs, metal toys, and wagons.
And home owners have lawn mowers, snowblowers, barbecue grills, patio furniture,
garden tools, electronic components, bathroom scales, tool boxes, and fire extinguishers
which benefit from a powder coated finish
Non-Metal Products
While powder coating started as an alternative to finishing metal products
only,
the development of powder that can be cured at lower temperatures has allowed
powder
coating to expand to non-metal surfaces such as ceramics and some wood and
plastic applications.
Powder coating on wood is growing by leaps and bounds. Manufacturers of
home-office furniture, kitchen cabinets,
children's furniture, and outdoor grill tables are discovering that powder
coating makes these "hard use" products retain their new look much longer
