What is Powder Coating?
Powder coating is a dry coating process meaning that the coating is applied as a dry powder with an electrostatic sprayer and then is evenly cured with heat. Through this process a strong chemical bond is formed which provides a very durable, long lasting finish. This is one of the reasons why powder coating has become popular throughout the residential and commercial industries.
Powder Coating Advantages
Durability
Unlike paint, powder coat provides a very durable finish. Due to its ductility, powder coat will not chip when it is struck by an object like paint would. Depending on the environment the coating is in, it can last for many years to come.
Environmentally friendly
Powder coating does not have any volatile organic compounds within it during the spray process so it is a much more environmentally friendly and safer alternative to traditional paints.
Cost Effectiveness
Although the up front cost of powder coating may steer you away, it is much more cost effective then painting. Instead of having to repaint the same product every year or two, you can powder coat it once and have it last for years.
