Industrial Uses on PowderCoating

PowderCoating provides a durable and high-quality finish, with a wide range of performance properties including excellent resistance to impact, abrasion, heat, stains, extreme weather and fading from sunlight. Texture selections range from smooth surfaces to a wrinkled or matte finish. Rough textures are also available, designed specifically for hiding any surface imperfections. And color selection is virtually unlimited, including clear coats.

• Lower heating costs for curing oven - The exhaust requirements for a PowderCoating oven are lower than solvent-based coatings, resulting in energy savings.
• Greater operating efficiency/lower unit costs - No drying or flash-off time is required. Parts can be racked closer together on conveyors and pass more quickly through the production line.
• Lower reject rates - More parts can be coated automatically with fewer rejects because PowderCoating does not run, drip or sag.
• High utilization efficiency - With proper application equipment, powder materials and efficient recovery methods, one-coat application and 95%-98% powder utilization efficiency are readily available. If more than one color is desired, color changes can be made quickly.
• Lower personnel costs - Minimal operator training and supervision are required for a powder line. Employees prefer working with dry powder because of lack of fumes, reduced housekeeping problems and minimum clothing contamination.
• Simplified permit process - The permitting process for a PowderCoating operation is simpler. Compliance with federal and state regulations is also easier, saving both time and money.

• Negligible VOCs - PowderCoatings contain no solvents and therefore emit negligible, if any, polluting VOCs into the atmosphere.
• Less exhaust - PowderCoating is a clean process, allowing exhaust air from the coating booth to be returned to the plant, and less oven air is exhausted to the outside.
• Reusable overspray - Up to 98% of powder overspray can be retrieved and reused.
• No costly waste disposal equipment - Unused powder can be reclaimed and returned to a hopper for recirculating through the system, with negligible waste.
