What is Powder Coating?

Powder coating is a type of coating typically applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional paint, powder coating does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form.

Applications of Powder Coating

Powder coating is primarily used for coating metals and other conductive materials that can withstand high temperatures. It is available in a wide range of colors, textures, and sheens, including metallic, candies, clear, iridescent, hammered, and multi-layer finishes.
