Top Five Benefits of Industrial Powder Coating


Durability
Powder coatings not only prevent corrosion, they are resistant to it. They are also resistant to hydrolysis, excess moisture, degradation from ultraviolet (UV) light, and low oxygen conditions such as aquatic and atmospheric hypoxia. Powder coatings also adhere better than other kinds of coatings, which means they don’t fade, chip, crack, peel, etc. It’s no wonder that powder coatings are characterized as durable and long lasting.

Effectiveness
Unlike other types of coatings, powder coating powder has an excellent transfer efficiency that creates a thick layer of film build up and superior edge coverage. Because of this, powder coatings don’t require a primer like other coatings do.

Sustainability
You wouldn’t expect to associate something like industrial powder coating with phrase environmentally friendly, but there’s many reasons why you should. The powder coating powders don’t contain any volatile organic compounds (VOCs), hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), or solvents, and any excess sprayed material can be recycled or reused, reducing overall waste. For these reasons, powder coating powders are truly eco-friendly.
Aesthetics
Simply put, powder coatings look great. The powders are available in many different colors, while many others are developed to meet evolving consumer color preferences. The colored powders also enhance the overall architectural and design intent of the building or product.


Profitability
If you’re wondering how industrial powder coating affects the bottom line, consider this; powder coating costs less, is safer for your employees, and is easy to use. In fact, powder coating requires minimal operator training, improving productivity and reducing overall operating costs.

  1. I never knew powder coating was so much safer than the liquid option. I think anything that doesn't have VOCs is a blessing and should be used rather than the hazardous alternatives. Thank you for the breakdown on this type of coating! http://pcofutah.com/
