More Durable
Powder coating gives consumers, businesses, and industry one of the
most economical, longest-lasting, and most color-durable quality
finishes available.
Powder coated surfaces are more resistant to chipping, scratching,
fading, and wearing than other finishes. Color selection is virtually
unlimited with high and low gloss, metallic, and clear finishes
available. And colors stay bright and vibrant longer. Texture
selections range from smooth surfaces to a wrinkled or matte finish,
and rough textures designed for hiding surface imperfections.
Protects the Environment
Powder coating is also highly protective of our environment. While
liquid finishes contain solvents which have pollutants known as
volatile organic compounds (VOCs), powder coating contains no solvents
and releases negligible amounts, if any, of VOCs into the atmosphere.
Thus, there is no longer a need for finishers to buy costly pollution
control equipment. In addition, most powder coating overspray that does
not adhere to the part can be retrieved and reused, virtually
eliminating the waste commonly found in liquid finishing processes.
Saves Money
Elimination of VOCs and reduction of wastes saves money and helps
companies comply more easily and economically with the government
regulations.
In fact, one of the major elements in expanding the market for powder
coating has been the implementation over the past 30 years of stringent
air pollution control legislation.
