A Small Trivia on Thermosetting Powder Coating:



Powder Coating is a dry finishing process created by an electric charge that causes a dry powder to fuse to the surface of the metal. This is then baked in a curing oven to achieve a smooth coating. It is usually used to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint.Powder coating is prevalent for the dry finish process, and it represents 15% of the industrial finish market. It was first used in the 1940s, where organic polymers were flame sprayed onto metallic bases. In the 1950s, a German scientist would then develop the fluidized-bed process. However, this process did not mark the end of development but would further motivate new technologies, including the electrostatic spray process that is widely used today.


Coating Process:

Whether you’re new to powder coatings or an experienced pro, you’re probably well aware that powder coating is a fantastic painting method that creates a tough, durable and beautiful finish. No matter whether you’re using a single gun and small oven or a large fully automated line, the process is basically the same. A powder spray gun is used, which when triggered gives an electrostatic charge to the powder particles passing through it. As the parts to be coated are grounded, the powder is attracted towards the part via the electrostatic process. Once the powder is applied the parts are cured in an oven, which melts and cross-links the powder over the surface of the part and creates a tough, scratch resistant and beautiful finish.

Powder Coating Applications:
There are literally thousands of different applications for powder coatings. Powder coating is used mainly on metals, so is perfect for industrial parts, architectural applications, automotive parts, bicycle parts, household appliances, furniture, enclosures, trailers, lighting...the list goes on!


Few Reasons of Choosing Powder Coating over Liquid:

  • Powder is free of toxic chemicals and solvents, it’s regarded as safe for usage and disposal. The application & baking processes release no harmful chemicals into the air, and they produce less waste and over sprayed powders are collected and reused.

  • The powder coating application and curing processes create a finish which is more durable than most other options.

  • Powder coated parts are highly resistant to corrosion, flaking, and scratching.
