What are
The Benefits of
Powder Coating?
The Benefits of powder coating are quite extensive. Powder Coating, also referred to as “dry painting,” is the method of applying a protective color finish to a wide variety of products. Powder Coating makes use of pigment and resin that are statically charged and sprayed onto a surface. The charged powder particles adhere to the electrically grounded surfaces and then are cured into the finished product in a curing oven.
The Benefits of Powder Coating:
1. Durability
It is undoubtedly the best paint option. It is more flexible than any conventional paints available in the market. The heat applied on the surface of the object during the curing process melts the powder to merge into films. That enhances the longevity of the coating. Powder coating is a protective finish that resists scratches, corrosion, abrasion, chemicals and detergents. The process cuts costs and improves efficiency.
2. Enhances Efficiency
Powder coating improves efficiency by reducing waste. The technicians do not have to wait for the paint to dry, to apply a fresh coating. It can be done subsequently without any hassle. The entire process requires minimal operator training and supervision compared to conventional coating technologies. The coating professional personally prefers dry powder coating to that of liquid paint. It saves money, time, and energy.
3. Variety
The biggest benefit of using powder coating, is that it allows you to customize your color and finish. The powder created by the manufacturer has the incredible potential of mixing with any color. In a similar fashion, you can select from a range of versatile premium finishes, that suits your product.
4. Safe for the Environment
The making of powder coating is considered safe. The material does not contain any solvent or harmful chemicals. It does not emit any toxic substances in the atmosphere and can be disposed of when required. However, it is advisable for painters take necessary precautions and abstain from skin contact. In liquid finishing, there is a component called volatile organic compound that is released into the environment, but powder coating releases no such compounds and so the manufacturer does not need to buy costly pollution-control machines.
5. Cost Effective
It is an economical option to that of traditional paints. It also requires less storage space and the raw material used in the process costs less. Since the coating cuts down on additional steps or extra drying time. It is an ideal option to use.
6. Easy Maintenance
No cleaners or solvents are needed to maintain the finished coating. It is actually very simple; you can use soapy water to wipe it regularly. It is highly durable, so it lessens the chances of rust. All you need to remember is to clean it a few times a year to keep it in good condition.
