What is Powder Coating?
|
Electrostatic powder coating is a solvent-free method of surface coating. The coater material is the very fine powder coating particles that constitute the top coat coating layer. Powder coating is applied with special coating guns in coating cabins. The powder coating particles, which gain electrostatic loads during their passage through the gun, stick on the material to be coating in the cabin; and by this means, the coating process is carried out. For ensuring the powder coating to stick on the material completely, the material should be earthed appropriately. The coating sprayed excessively are collected by means of the coating recovery system in the cabin, and then they are put to use again. Coating recovery system is the greatest economic advantage of electrostatic powder coating technology. After coated with powder coating, the material enters the firing oven. The oven temperature of 200°C ensures the powder coating to melt and stick on the material. As a result, a very durable, economic, environment friendly and glossy surface coating with wide range of colors is obtained. Electrostatic powder coating is more attractive alternative than the traditional coating process, because of its surface quality, durability, coating recovery system, economy, and environmental awareness as well as because of the fact that it does not contain any solvents.
