A.Powder is basically paint in a powder form. It is a dry, powder substance that is manufactured in a unique way. It has to be applied on a coating line – it cannot be applied on site, because it has to cure in an oven. It also has to be made in a powder factory. It cannot be mixed on site.

Powder coating is a kind of coating that is used as a free-flowing, dry powder,and does not need a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form , and is typically applied electrostatically and is then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a hard finish that usually is tougher than conventional paint.

A. No powder needs to be applied to the part on a coating line. It cannot be applied on site because it needs to be cured in an oven.

A. Generally, powder is best suited to metal substrates such as aluminum, steel or brass. It is possible to powder coat other substrates such as MDF, ceramic and glass, but metal substrates are most common. Applying powder to different substrates depends on the applicator!

A. Our thermosetting powders cure (or, alternatively, crosslink) upon the application of heat to chemically change to form a three-dimensional structure that will not re-melt.  They are different from thermoplastics (liquid paints are thermoplastic) as thermoplastics do not have a cure reaction and will re-melt if reheated.

A. Check out the product section of our website here. That gives you lots of information on the different chemistries available, their performance characteristics, what they are best suited to and the various tests they will pass. If you would like help and advice choosing the right powder chemistry for your application and budget, just contact us and we’ll be happy to help. Often people just pick a color, without checking that the product chemistry is right for their application. Then if the powder fades or doesn’t perform as expected, the powder is blamed rather than the decision to use the wrong chemistry!

A. We have several different powder chemistries available in many different colors. Check our products section for more information on the different chemistries and the different applications they are suited to.

1. Powder coatings are essentially liquid paint that is made without water or petroleum based solvents, much like dehydrated foods. The major difference between liquid and powder coatings at the point of the coatings use is that powder coatings must be baked with heat in order to melt the dried paint together and cure the coating to its final hardness. Liquid coatings can be sprayed at room temperature and most cure without the use of additional heat. The presence of heat to bake powder coatings creates the largest performance feature. This performance feature in powder coatings is exhibited in final hardness and abrasion resistance of the coating.
