Powder Coating

Powder Coating employs similar technology to liquid electrostatic painting. The primary difference is that powder coating uses a dry resin material that does not require a solvent medium to keep the resin and binders in suspension. The most common way of applying the powder coating to metal objects is to spray the powder using an electrostatic gun or corona gun. The gun imparts a positive electric charge to the powder, then sprayed towards the grounded object by mechanical or compressed air spraying, which then is attracted to the workpiece by the powerful electrostatic charge. Once sprayed through a powder gun and applied to the surface of the part, an oven is utilized to melt the powder and create a film. Powder coating is an excellent choice for applications where durability and toughness are essential, as the finished product has a more durable surface than traditional liquid coatings.
