What Is Electrostatic Powder Coating?
Electrostatic powder coating is a finishing process that uses dry powdered paint that is electrically charged upon application that creates a long-lasting, high quality finish. Although primarily used on metals, it can also be applied on various products and surfaces.
This coating technique offers more advantages than other types of finishing processes:
- • Superior Quality Finish – A powder coating finish is tougher and harder than conventional paint. It can produce a thicker coat than conventional wet paint. Electrostatic powder coating does not cause running, dripping, or sagging, which can lower rejection rates.
- • Efficient Process – Powder coating requires no drying or flash-off time! Coated parts can be placed closer together on a powder rack. Since coating time is shortened, more products can be coated at a given period.
- • Eco-Friendly – Powder coating emits practically zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as it does not contain harsh solvents typically found in wet paint. This eliminates various health and environmental concerns associated with solvents. This means less hazardous waste than a liquid coating facility. It also eliminates the need to procure expensive pollution control equipment.
- • Reusability – Unused paint particles in powder coating can be easily recovered and used for future projects, which is impossible to do in liquid finishing systems.
- • Significant Savings – Since there are no VOCs, the air that is used in the powder spray booth can be re-circulated back into the powder coating facility. Liquid coating facilities need to heat and exhaust huge volumes of air to prevent solvent fumes from accumulating. Exhaust requirements for powder coating ovens are lower.
