Powder Coating Questions!

Q: What is Powder Coating?

A: Powder coating is a dry finishing process, where the coating is applied as a free-flowing dry powder. Unlike liquid paint, powder coating does not require solvents to ensure that the filler and binder parts remain in a liquid state. Finely ground particles of pigment and resin are electrostatically charged and pushed onto products. Charged particles adhere to a substrate then cooked until melted and fused into a solid coating in a curing oven. This forms a skin, with a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint.
