What makes powder coating such a popular choice?This type of finish offers numerous benefits, including Choice, Eco-Friendliness, Durability,
- Choice: Functional doesn’t have to be boring, and powder coating is proof of that. Varying the pigment in the powder produces an astounding array of colors, and while the standard finish tends to be smooth, it is possible to achieve a wide range of textures. Powder coating can also be applied in multiple coats, which further expands the aesthetic possibilities. Ultimately, you can achieve a functional finish that suits virtually any style.
- Eco-Friendliness: While it is available in a multitude of hues, powder coating is undeniably green. For starters, there is much less waste with powder coating. The application method produces far less overspray than traditional painting techniques, and that overspray isn’t necessarily lost like it would be with conventional paints. Because the powder is dry, much of the overspray can be recovered. In addition, the powder used in powder coating doesn’t contain many of the harsh chemicals used in traditional paints like solvents and violatile organic compounds. When there is waste to be disposed of, it can simply be sent to the landfill. There is no hazardous waste requiring special disposal.
- Durability: While the aesthetic benefits of a finish are important, there’s no point in applying a beautiful coating that won’t last. Powder coating does an excellent job of standing up to whatever you throw at it. It produces a finish that is both harder and more flexible than traditional paint. In addition, it results in a coating that is significantly thicker. Conventional painting techniques tend to produce a finish that is between 0.05 mils and 1 mil thick. When power coating is used for a decorative application, it produces a finish of 2 mils to 6 mils. When the need for functionality is the priority, a thickness of 6 mils to 12 mils is utilized. Although the differences in hardness, flexibility, and thickness may be invisible to the naked eye, they generate extra protection for the core material by providing a finish that is better able to withstand the elements, resist rust, and repel nicks, dings, chips, and scratches. Ultimately, this means more durability and less maintenance, a combination that is understandably appealing to consumers.
