What are the various Types of Industrial Powder Coating?

Powder coating is generally known to be a dry coating process that has numerous applications to give metals a perfect finish. This process is specifically used in product manufacturing of industrial parts, household appliances, automotive finishes, medical devices, furniture, architectural applications, etc. In this process, the dry powder is first applied via an electrostatic process before being given heat treatment. Moreover, industrial powder coating can be applied on concrete, plastic, and steel, too, since it’s one of the sturdy, flexible, and cost-effective finish options.

Different types of industrial powder coating

·         Thermoplastics

In this power coating, the thermoplastic polymers are melted first with the application of temperature, then solidify the finish by cooling. This industrial powder coating is used mostly for the protection of metal against corrosion, chemical materials, and impulse. Here are some of the thermoplastic powder coatings used industrially.

1.      Vinyl Powder coating

Vinyl powder coating is used in two binders as polyvinyl chloride and polyvinylidene fluoride. Both of the binders help with making the finish durable, weather-resistant, and applied according to their vinyl polymers. They belong to a group of resins that have vinyl radical as the fundamental structure of this powder coating.

2.      Polyurethane powder coating

Polyurethane powder coating has similar properties to epoxy powders with exterior durability. However, this coating can offer more overheat stability than epoxies.

3.      Polyester powder coating

Polyester powder coating is a very good powder coating process that gives the finish abrasions resistance and weather resistance. They are abundantly used on furniture, automobile parts as they are available in diverse coloring options. There is some polyester powder which is also certified for use in architectural applications.

4.      Nylon

Nylon is a very durable powder coating, which is also FDA approved, as they produce excellent protection against harmful chemicals and solvents.

·         Thermoset powder coating

Thermoset powder coating involves fine thermoset resins. This finish can exhibit physical and chemical properties. With the use of various advanced technologies, this coating process also offers customization options using versatile materials.

1.      UV curable powder Coating

UV curable powder coating has many benefits, which can be done faster with low-temperature requirements. This allows heat-sensitive substrates like wood, plastics, and alloys.

2.      Epoxy-polyester Hybrid

Epoxy-polyester hybrid is a widely used powder coating process that offers excellent strength, hardness, resistance against chemicals, and corrosion. With different pre-treatments, this coating can provide extreme adhesion, which is why it’s called hybrid coating.

3.      Acrylic Powder Coating

This powder coating is extremely in use for high-quality surface aesthetics to produce flexibility and impact resistance. Acrylic finish is well suited for ovens and washing machines, etc.
