What is Powder Coating?

Powder Coating is a dry finishing process that uses finely ground powder of pigment and resin to coat the surface. Powder Coating uses an electostatically charged technique in which the powders are charged so that the powder particles adhere to the metal surface and are then melted and fused together in the curing process.

Since its introduction in North America almost 40 years ago, Powder Coating has become the fastest growing finishing technology, currently representing over 10 percent of the total industrial finishing market. More and more finishing engineers for a countless array of products have switched from liquid finishing to Powder Coating as a way to produce a high quality and durable finish while maximizing production, cutting costs, improving efficiency, and complying with incresingly stringent environmental regulations.
