Troubleshooting Guide for Powder Coating WHY POWDER COATING? INTRODUCTION Thermo setting powder coatings are now generally recognized as having a significant role in the metal finishing industries world-wide. Powder coatings have been a commercial reality now for close to thirty years Powder coatings are used for the same key reasons as any surface finishing process: To protect the substrate they have been applied to To enhance the appearance of the item they have been applied to. The key benefits of powder coatings are often summarized by the five Es of powder coating. Ease of application Environmentally friendly Economical Excellence of finish Excellence of performance Other benefits include: The elimination to a large extent of solid waste disposal problems. Solvent emissions are virtually eliminated, resulting in much easier compliance with EPA regulations. Energy costs are greatly reduced and Volatile Organic Component easily controlled. No solvents are required in mixing, cleaning or maintenance. Up to 99% of powder overspray can be recovered and reused. The 1% residual can easily be disposed off as a solid. For these reasons there has been a rapid growth in the coating industry. Powder coatings are often used as alternatives to liquid paint finishing. In comparisons with traditional liquid finishing, powder coatings offer two significant application benefits: they are single coat finishes, with no primer required. High film thickness can be achieved with a single coat. The powder coating application process is also readily automated, enabling high volume industrial application plants to operate economically wit
