Many of the top powder-coating supplier strategies in North America have evolved around a major market focus, such as automotive or appliance. Other companies operate from a primary technology platform, usually either organics, such as epoxy and polyester resins, or synthetics, such as silicon-based technologies (SBTs). Powder coatings formulated with SBTs demonstrate the excellent thermal and ultraviolet (UV) resistance of these synthetic polymers, but orga
