What is Powder Coating?
Introduced in North America more than 30 years
ago, powder coating has become the fastest growing finishing technology in use
today. Powder is applied electrostatically by charging the powder particles
which are then applied directly to the grounded metal surface. The charged
powder adheres to the surface until it enters a curing oven. There the powder
melts, bonds and cures to the desired surface resulting in a coating which
provides a durable, high quality, uniform finish.
This process is mainly used for the coating of
metals and creates a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint. And
since powder coating is dry paint containing no solvents, it is safe for the
environment.
