Powder Coating is a great durable alternative to paint. Colored powder is dusted on metal and sticks to thanks to static electricity, the metal is then placed inside a large oven and the powder melts to form an ultra durable finish.

Environmental Pros

  • Powder coatings emit zero or near zero volatile organic compounds (VOC).
  • Powder coating overspray can be recycled and thus it is possible to achieve nearly 100% utilization of the coating.
  • Powder coatings lines produce less hazardous waste than conventional liquid coatings.
