MERITS OF USING POWDERS
Powder coatings are tough and robust. Made to last, providing the required protection and desired decorative properties to a wide variety of substrates in different applications. Fulfilling various market requirements in terms of aesthetics and function, our powder coating products are available in a wide selection of finishes, colours and gloss, as well as different functions and levels of durability.
Besides, there are many advantages in using powders in terms of environment, processing, costing and safety aspects.
1. Environment-friendly
Powders are green products. With zero VOC (Volatile Organic Content). No solvents, fumes or odours are emitted during spraying and curing, or from the cured coating.
2. Easier processing
- No priming required
A protective and decorative finish is achieved in a single coating.
No need for any primer, unlike in the case of liquid paints in general. - Ready to use
Powders are supplied ready for use. No thinning, mixing or filtering needed. - Minimum material wastage
In a normal spray operation, 98% of the powder is utilised. With optimally designed booths and recovery systems, overspray can be efficiently recovered and reused by mixing with virgin powder. - Easier automation
Powder coating systems can be automated and conveyorized more easily and at lower costs than liquid paint systems.
3. Reduced Costs
Significantly lower operational and storage costs, and no primer costs, in comparison to liquid systems.
4. Reduced Hazards
Powders pose much lesser safety and health hazards than solvent-containing coating products. More easily removed from the air than volatilized solvents, which pose fire and explosion risks as well as long-term health hazards from frequent exposure.
