ADVANTAGES

1. Strong coating

Powder coating provides a durable finish that’s far stronger than what liquid paints offer. These coats are known to protect equipment in the harshest environments without compromising on the aesthetics of the finish. As a result, it’s common to find such coating used on large industrial equipment, structures, and oil field supplies.

2. Affordable

Powder coating is also affordable with the application process eliminating many extra steps and drying time that comes with liquid paint. The raw material powder is less expensive than wet paint and can be stored away in far less space than what traditional paint cans would need.

3. Various colors and finishes

Powder coating offers many colors and finishes. One can also easily have custom colors made by the manufacturer quickly, and there is a broad range of finishes from high gloss to matte. It’s even possible to customize the texture of the coat (e.g., texture or metallic).

4. Low maintenance

Powder coatings require little maintenance after application. Since the coating his highly durable and resistant to corrosion or scratches – there’s never a pressing need to use cleaning solutions or solvents to keep the surface in tip-top shape. Generally, you can expect to clean the applied coating only a few times a year.

5. Quick application

Powder coating is applied using an electromagnetic charge. This means there’s no need to wait for the coat to dry before applying another layer while applying the coating. It can all be done in one go with very little waste creation.

6. Even application

The application of powder coating also results in an even finished horizontal and vertical surface. This is due to the process of spraying and rapid heating to apply the powder coating. With liquid paint, you would run the risk of drips forming.

7. No toxic fumes

Liquid paints are known to release toxic fumes from volatile organic compounds into the air. With powder coatings, this risk is non-existent or very little, making it a far safer option to use.

8. Low carbon footprint

Powder coatings are also known to have a low carbon footprint throughout their value chain. This is great for businesses aiming to switch to more environmentally sustainable materials in their manufacturing process.

9. Environment/Recycle friendly

Liquid paints commonly create unwanted waste that needs to be disposed of properly. Powder coatings, however, can be recycled and reused. This makes them a more environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and efficient coating to use.

10. Greater transfer efficiency

While liquid paint coats have a transfer efficiency of 30% and nearly half of the product evaporates away. With powder coating, you get a 95% transfer efficiency on average, with any overspray recovered to be used again in the future as needed.
