What is powder coating and how does it compare to wet spray painting?

Powder coating is the application of paint in the form of tiny dry particles. Unlike traditional wet spray painting methods, we simply use a clean and efficient electrostatic powder coating process. This process is generally less prone to mistakes than wet spray. Further, powder coating does not involve the use of harmful chemicals, so it is more environmentally friendly. The parts to be painted are given an electrostatic charge that is opposite to the charge given the powder. As the paint powder is sprayed onto these charged parts, the powder particles are naturally drawn towards this opposite charge. This process yields parts that are uniformly coated with a minimum expenditure of powder, which translates to a superior coating for less money than traditional wet spray methods. After the powder is initially applied, the parts are baked at specific temperatures in our ovens. Inside the oven, the paint powder instantly turns from its solid powdered phase to liquid phase and finally ...  more
