Why Powder Coatings?

For decades, powder coatings have set the standard in the industry for superior protection and sustainability. Renowned for their durability and environmental advantages, powder coatings safeguard high-use products worldwide against impacts, chemical exposure, UV radiation, and harsh weather conditions. This advanced protection effectively reduces the risk of scratching, corrosion, fading, and other common forms of wear.

Numerous factors contribute to the environmental friendliness of powder coatings compared to other surface finishes. These coatings have no solvents and little to no VOCs (volatile organic compounds), making them safe for both the atmosphere and people. Many powder coatings are effective with a single coat, meaning you’ll use less product overall and less energy for the application and curing process. 

Using a reclaim system, leftover powder coating and overspray can be reclaimed, recycled and reused, making it an excellent product for conservation efforts. This allows powder coatings to reduce overall waste, decrease costs, and increase efficiency vs other coatings.

Powder coatings are also recognized by both LEED and EPD for their environmental friendliness, highlighting powder as a premiere choice when selecting materials.
