What is Powder Coating?
Powder coating is a dry finishing process that has become extremely popular since its introduction in the 1960s.
It represents over 15% of the total industrial finishing market and involves applying a dry powder to a metal surface, which is then cured under heat to form a durable, high-quality finish.
Unlike traditional liquid paint, powder coating does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form. The coating is applied electrostatically and then cured under heat, allowing it to flow and form a ‘skin’.
