What is Powder Coating?

Powder coating is a widely used method of applying a decorative and functional paint finish to a wide variety of products including white goods, leisure goods, architectural cladding, vehicle trim, electronic enclosures, railway interiors, and office furniture.

The powder in question is made up of finely ground resins and pigments and is most commonly applied with an electrostatic spray gun.

The gun applies a charge to the powder as it is sprayed and this causes the powder to cling to the electrically grounded component.

After the powder has been applied to the component, it must be transformed into a continuous film by heating (typically at temperatures between 180C to 200C).

The Advantages of Powder Coating?

  • Powder coating tends to be tougher, more flexible, and less liable to chip or peel than a conventional wet paint. What’s more, powder coating offers the most colour-durable finish possible on almost any kind of metal.

  • Unlike many wet paints, powder coatings contain no volatile organic compounds (VOC). This means they are far more environmentally friendly than liquid finishes and can save businesses from spending money on expensive pollution limiting equipment.

  • During the curing process, the powder melts and chemically cross links ensuring that the full flexibility and integrity of the applied powder film is maintained over a prolonged period of time.

  • Powder coatings will give a uniform appearance over a large area and not exhibit the characteristic evidence of the direction of application found with wet paints.
