| What is Powder Coating?
Powder Coating is the process in which a finish is applied dry instead
of wet. The dry powder, with a consistency like talcum powder is applied with a special gun which charges
each particle with a charge that is opposite the charge of the metal.
Because opposites attract, the powder and the metal are bound together with an electric bond. Once the whole
piece is coated, it is conveyed into a 400 degree Farenheit oven where the powder particles melt, flow and
fuse, a process that takes about 10 minutes. The result is a baked enamel that is far better than conventional
baked enamel. |
