| General industrial powder coatings have won wide acceptance in metal the finishing industry due to the following advantages: Environmental issues Because powder coatings are solvent-free, they are VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) and HAP (Hazardous Air Pollutant) free. The EPA requires stringent monitoring of air and water. Powder coatings meet EPA requirements for freedom from air and water pollution. Safety Issues When handled properly powder coatings are remarkably safe. The absence of solvents minimizes the hazards of fire and health threats to plant personnel. Applicators must wear personal protection equipment suitable for nuisance dust environments, provide electrical grounding for all equipment, and properly exhaust powder spray booths and curing ovens. Coating Performance Issues Powder coatings are both aesthetic and functional. By taking into account a products end use, powder coatings are formulated to meet all necessary performance requirements. Examples include: A high degree of abrasion, corrosion, or chemical resistance, dielectric strength, or weathering resistance. Operational Cost On an applied basis, powder coatings are generally less expensive than solvent-borne, organic coatings. Ease of powder application eliminates runs and sags, thereby yielding higher acceptance rates. Powder coating reclaim processes can also yield an overall utilization efficiency in excess of 90%. Crosslink's thermoset powder coatings are available in a variety of resin chemistries to include: Epoxy Hybrid Urethane • Polyester • and others The performance requirements of your product will dictate which resin system is best suited for your application. |
