What is powder coating?

November 2, 2023 by Kim Scott

Powder coating is better than paint here’s why.

More than just paint, it the application itself that makes it better.

Powder coating is a dry finishing process widely used in various industries since the 1960s. It represents 15% of the industrial finishing market and offers a high-quality, durable finish. It can be both protective and decorative, offering a wide range of colors and textures. Powder coatings are made from polymer resin systems with pigments and additives, applied to metal substrates using electrostatic spray deposition. After application, the coating is cured in an oven to create strong molecular chains, making it highly resistant to breakdown.

According to RossKote’s Powder Coating Blog

CONSUMERS SHOULD KNOW THAT POWDER COATINGS ARE SET TO BE THE FASTEST GROWTH SEGMENT OF THE COATINGS WORLD BECAUSE OF AN INCREASING NEED TO MAKE OLD THINGS LOOK NEW AGAIN.

Powder coatings have been around since the 1950s with the rise of essential industrial coatings. It wasn’t till the 1980s that the everyday consumer caught on to the trend of coating for their own metal refurbishing projects. Today, Powder coaters both large and small offer the world with durable coatings. 

Beyond its durability however, there are other various features that have the potential to attract consumers. Namely, it’s safer and more sustainable for clients, applicators and the environment. 

Other uses for powders.

Powder coatings are also suitable for non-metallic substrates like plastics and MDF. They can be applied through fluidized bed application, where preheated parts are dipped in a hopper of fluidizing powder. Powder coatings are known for their durability, protecting items from impact, moisture, chemicals, UV light, and extreme weather conditions. They are resistant to scratches, chipping, abrasions, corrosion, and fading. Powder coating not only offers durability but also environmental advantages, making it a popular choice for various products.
