Sacramento, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/17/2014 -- Powder coating paint is an innovative way of colouring thousands of products that are of use every day. It can protect vast varieties of products from household items to the toughest industrial machineries. It has been very popular since its introduction in North America some 40 years ago. Comparing to conventional paint, powder coating does not require a use of solvent to keep the binder in liquid suspension form.

Over the years powder coating paint had been used to almost 15% of industrial finishing market and is used in a variety of products whether industrial or at home. Most companies use powder coating since it gives good quality and durable finish which results to capitalized production and environmental compliance.

Here are some of the reasons why it is much better to use powder coating paint than ordinary conventional paint:

1 – Environmental: Powder coating emit zero or near zero VCO or Volatile Organic Compounds. During application, Powder coating paint does not harm the environment since it does not use any solvent. The waste produced by powder coating are also not considered to be hazardous chemicals and does not block drainage systems and may be disposed in the landfill. Conventional paints on the other hand, contains solvents and other harmful chemicals which are exhausted in the ozone layer and produces hazardous wastes which take effort to be disposed of in a manner which suits the environment.

2 – Economics (Productivity and Cost): Overspray of powder coating can be recycled 100% of the time. Powder coating has an average transfer efficiency of 60 to 70 per cent thus any overspray can be re-used which results to no wasted product. Liquid paints on the other hand, has an average transfer efficiency of only 30 to 35 per cent, thus half of the product is basically wasted because once the product evaporates, there is no way of re-using it. Also, the base product of powder coating paint is more affordable compared to conventional liquid paints. Powder coating paints are also ready to use. Unlike conventional liquid paint, powder coating does not require stirring, mixing or thinning. Powder is also far easier to apply than wet paint and requires less space compared to other liquid coating equipment.

3 – Mechanical: Powder coating paint produces double the thickness of a standard paint coating. It is flexible in that it can easily bend and yield with the material it is applied to. Powder coating paint is best used in painting transportation machineries because of its flexibility which will allow the machines to move and twist as it transports from one place to another. Powder coat also endures rock chips and other common road damages.

4 – Production: The powder coated product can be ready to be put to work in around 20 minutes unlike conventional liquid paints which takes days to dry. In terms of production efficiency, powder coating paint has been a necessary product to use because of the less waste over spray and less risk for defects and runs.

5 – Technical: Powder coating paint had shown resistance in corrosion. More and more industries use it because it protects machineries from gradual destruction due to chemical reaction. It is also good in resisting abrasion, acids and other solvents. Powder coating paint also has good insulation capabilities making it the highest standard of paint in the market today.

Powder coating is high-quality finish found in most household and industrial product every day. In 2010, the global demand for powder coating had tremendously increase even up until today when developments have been made to create new formulation, equipment and formulation process. The use of powder coating paint had helped numerous industries. There are even others exploring ways on how to take advantage of powder coat on their respective industries for economic and industrial growth.
