Powder coating is a type of surface finishing that is applied to metal in order to provide a protective and decorative coating. It is a dry finishing process that uses finely ground particles of pigment and resin that are electrostatically charged and sprayed onto the metal surface. The powder particles are then cured under heat, which causes them to melt and fuse together to form a durable, chip-resistant finish. Powder coating is often used on a variety of metal products, including appliances, furniture, and automotive parts.
Starting a powder coating business can be a lucrative venture, as there is a growing demand for this type of finishing. Powder coating is a relatively new technology, but it has quickly become popular due to its many advantages over traditional liquid painting. Powder coating is more durable, chip-resistant, and weather-resistant than liquid paint. It is also more environmentally friendly, as it does not produce any VOCs (volatile organic compounds).
