Powder coating is a dry form of liquid paint. The powder is applied with an electrostatic charge to a grounded substrate and cured in a bake oven. In the oven, the powder flows into a liquid and cross-links into a durable finish. Powder coating offers a variety of benefits.

• Environmentally friendly since there are no solvents or sludge generation
• Economical because the oversprayed powder can be reclaimed and reused
• Energy efficient since there is no need for make-up air
• Easy to use - no mixing of paints of solvents
• Easy to apply - drips, runs and/or sags are virtually eliminated
• Excellence of finish - once the part has been cured and cooled, the coating has its full complement of performance properties making it extremely durable

Powder coatings are available in a variety of chemistries, colors, gloss ranges, textures and metallics.
