Benefits of Powder Coating
by Ankita Sehgal Freelance Blogger, Lives in New DelhiPowder Coating is a complicated method of
applying an ornamental and protective finish to virtually any sort of metal
which will be used both by industry and consumers. The powder utilized in the
method may be a mixture of finely ground particles of pigment and resin, which
is electrostatically sprayed onto the surface to be coated. The charged powder
particles adhere to the electrically grounded surfaces until the powder is
heated and fused into a smooth coating within the curing oven. The result's a
consistent, durable, top quality and attractive finish. The powder coated
sheet price in India is Rs. 51/kilogram.
What are the advantages of powder coating?
1. Powder Coating is More Durable
Powder Coating has extremely economical,
longest enduring, and most color-durable quality finishes available on
virtually any kind of metal. Powder-coated surfaces are more immune to
chipping, scratching, fading, and wearing than other finishes. Colors stay
bright and vibrant longer.
2. Powder Coating is More Environmentally
Friendly
Powder Coating is additionally highly
protective of our surroundings. Liquid finishes contain solvents, which have
pollutants mentioned as volatile organic compounds (VOC's). On the other hand, powder
coating contains no solvents and release negligible amounts, if any, VOCs into
the atmosphere. Therefore, there is no longer a need for finishers to buy and
maintain costly pollution control equipment.

Powder helps reduce the hazard to operators
As powders don't contain solvent there's a
marked reduction in nose, mouth and throat irritation. With liquid coating, any
liquid paint which comes into contact with an operator’s skin must be washed
off with solvent, then removed by emulsifying with soap in predicament. In
general, the powder doesn't cause skin irritation though in rare cases individuals
may react to certain sorts of powder. The powder is often faraway from the
skin easily by washing with warm water.
4. With the powder, the processing time is reduced
Powder processing times are very short.
They are especially shorter than those used for wet stoving paints. This is
because there is no solvent and hence, no flash off period is required.
Instead, it is possible to pass the powder-coated articles directly into the
oven. This gives substantial saving in space and time.
5. Reduced Air Extraction
The air extraction during a powder spray booth may be a lot but for solvent-based paints. Great news if you’re looking for economies in ventilation and the consequential heating of work areas. As less warm air has to be replaced in workshops, less dust is attracted and there is less air-draught for the operators to contend with.
6. Powder is cleaner to use
Applying powder is far cleaner than
applying wet paint. A spray booth is often cleaned down quickly and simply
employing a rubber squeegee whilst the traditional air extraction within the
booth is working. Brushes or an airline shouldn't be used for this purpose. Any
spillages of powder outside the booth can be removed with an industrial vacuum
cleaner that is fitted with an air-driven or dust-tight motor.
