Powder coating is a type of finishing process that involves applying a dry, powder-like material to a surface and then curing it to form a durable, protective layer. Here's a detailed breakdown of the powder coating process:
- Cleaning
- Pre-treatment
- Electrostatic Spray Deposition (ESD)
- Fluidized Bed Coating
Benefits
- Durability: Powder coatings are highly resistant to chipping, scratching, and fading.
- Environmentally Friendly: Unlike liquid paint, powder coatings do not contain solvents and release minimal volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere.
- Efficiency: The overspray from powder coating can be collected and reused, leading to minimal waste.
