Production powder coatings are made from finely ground plastic particles consisting of pigments, resins, binders, fillers and hardners. When baked, these plastic particles melt to form a continuous film, which is typically a very durable, chemically resistant coating. Since they are applied as a dry material, powder coatings contain very little, if any, volatile organic compounds (VOC) and offer the best available alternative for low emissions in the coating industry.
Production powder coatings can be protective, decorative, or both and can be formulated to meet a wide variety of appearance or performance characteristics (i.e. color, gloss, texture, film thickness, hardness, UV and chemical resistance). Powder coatings are also available for high heat applications. The decision on what powder coating to use depends on the specific requirements of the end product. Powder coatings can be formulated with very smooth finishes, hammertones, wrinkles, and metallics and are typically applied as a one-coat system.
