Powder Coating is a great durable alternative to paint. Colored powder is dusted on metal and sticks thanks to static electricity; the metal is then placed inside a large oven and the powder melts to form an ultra durable finish. Other common applications are exercise equiptment and outdoor fixtures such as bike racks, street lamp polls, and signs.
Environmental Pros
- Powder coatings emit zero or near zero volatile organic compounds (VOC).
- Powder coating overspray can be recycled and thus it is possible to achieve nearly 100% utilization of the coating.
- Powder coatings lines produce less hazardous waste than conventional liquid coatings.
