Benefits
The benefits of using powder coating compared to conventional liquid paints have dramatically increased since concerns over air and water pollution have driven technological advances.
Today the total costs of powder coating is often lower than conventional coatings while it's final properties prove to be superior.
There are a number of factors responsible for powder coating's improved efficiencies:
- Powders are immediately ready for use with no mixing necessary. This saves on time and cost.
- Up to 98% of over spray can be retrieved and reused.
- There is no drying or flash time required allowing items to be racked closer together.
- Coating does not drip or run, saving on correction time.
- A more controlled and if necessary thicker layer can be obtained with powders with one application.
- Any imperfections can be easily rectified before baking by blowing off the powder and reapplying.
- Powder coating offers higher corrosion resistance ensuring a longer life span for the final product.
