Powder coating is an innovative coating solution based on a fine powder, with granules barely larger than a micron. Raw materials are carefully mixed, melted, cooled, and ground to achieve a consistent, finely textured powder that can be precisely applied. It was first developed in the 1940s, and has been used by industries worldwide since the 1970s.
Powder coating formulas include primary ingredients such as polymer resins and pigments as well as curatives, flow modifiers, leveling agents, hardeners and other additives. These ingredients are carefully homogenised to ensure consistency. After the coating is applied, the coated object is heated to cure the powder, which melts and forms a durable, hard finish. Powder coatings offer a thick, uniform coating without the risk of sagging or running, even on vertical surfaces. This process results in a high-quality, attractive finish with excellent durability and corrosion protection. It is also environmentally friendly, as it produces minimal waste and eliminates the need for harmful solvents.
