WHY POWDERCOAT

The annual loss due to corrosion in this country is ten billion dollars according to the United States Department of Commerce. You can reduce this figure simply by using powder coated finishes on your projects. Experts believe this is due to the fact powder coat is formed from dry powders that are homogeneous, coherent and free from porosity caused by solvent evaporation. In addition, Electrostatic spray powder coatings from 1- to 6-mils thick can be applied in one pass where most liquid paints must be applied in two passes to provide the corrosion resistance which is still inferior to a powder coated finish. Producing no drips, runs, or sags, powder coating provides excellent coverage inside holes and recessed areas.

Thickness, even on complex shapes, is relatively uniform. Many powder coatings cost less than equivalent coatings formed from liquid paint making it a more economical solution. Select finishes offer protection against UV fading. All finishes offer exceptional color retention & corrosion protection. Specialty powders can be applied to offer antimicrobial properties when necessary to specific applications such as healthcare and food industries. Hazardous waste in the form of both air and water pollutants are created in solvent-based paint processes while the more environmentally friendly powder coating process eliminates those pollutants resulting not only in better air and water quality for everyone, but also a cleaner, healthier, and safer working environment for employees.
