Questions
and Answers
What is Powder Coating?
Powder
coating is simply an alternative method of applying
Paints, unlike the 'normal' 'wet' Paint application,
with Powder Paints there are no solvents, Only the
Paint solid itself is sprayed onto the product, in
a tiny powder form. The Product is then heated (to
around 200 degrees Centigrade) in an Oven, the powder
fuses (or melts) on to the product and thus forms
a smooth, tough end thick coating.
What
are the benefits or Powder Coating?
High
Quality. Because the powder is fused onto the
product, it has excellent scratch resistance properties.
It also has a pleasing 'smooth' appearance and forms
a sealed skin minimising corrosion risk.
Recoverable.
Unlike
wet paint, 'Over spray' powders can be collected and
re-used! When you consider that in any paint spraying
system, only around 50% of the paint for powder) actually
lards on the job, then large sevings are clearly possible
if the over spray can be re-used.
Simple
Automation. Because
powder is applied electrostatically, is fully recoverable
and is easily cleaned away, powder is ideally suited
to simple, automatic application thus minimising labour
requirements.
One
coat application. For
most applications, a single thick powder application
is quite possible. This eliminates the need for primers,
multi-coat-wet painting and for rubbing down between
coats.
No
Solvents. It
is therefore, safer to use and more envvironmentally
friendly'. It also easily complies with the 1990 E.P.A.
Legislation.
Clean.
Spillages, overspray, etc., can literally be vacuumed
