For those that may not know what powder coating is, when comparing powder to paint, you must keep in mind that this is not paint. Paint has a colored pigment in liquid solvent suspension that is kept wet during the application process. Once it dries, the molecules of the substances pigment bond with each other to create a “skin” of paint that is visible on the surface.

Powder coat, on the other hand, is actually a dry finishing process. The powder itself is typically a thermoplastic or thermoset polymer that is ground down to a flour-like texture. It is then electrostatically charged and then sprayed onto a metallic object that can withstand heat during the making process. The curing oven adheres all of the resin particles to the object being powdered.

To sum things up, this entire process means that it is much more durable opposed to a “wet” paint. It is also able to withstand minor impacts that can cause chips, scratches, and abrasions or corrosion caused by contamination. Powder coating is ideal for surface protection because it maintains its color at all temperatures and in varying weather conditions. It also has superior ultraviolet light exposure resistance. In fact, you will see an enhanced color in sunlight with a powder coated finish. Supporting this, it is also an environmentally friendly process, as it emits fewer volatile organic compounds (VOC) during the coating process.
