What is Powder Coating?

Powder coating is a dry finishing process that has become extremely popular since its introduction in North America over in the 1960s. Representing over 15% of the total industrial finishing market, powder is used on a wide array of products. More and more companies specify powder coatings for a high-quality, durable finish, allowing for maximized production, improved efficiencies, and simplified environmental compliance. Used as functional (protective) and decorative finishes, powder coatings are available in an almost limitless range of colors and textures, and technological advancements have resulted in excellent performance properties.

Why are Spray Booths are Better?

While powder coating is an obvious choice for many, some powder coating processes work better than others – depending on your specific needs.

All AWC Industries powder coating is done using an Amiberica Conveyorized 5-Stage Wash System as well as a Nordson Electrostatic Spray Booth (designed with coating versatility in mind). This cutting edge powder coating technology allows us to offer applied finishes in virtually any color, texture, or gloss level. Using processes such as electrostatic spray, we apply coatings ranging from different forms of epoxies to urethanes.

What are the benefits of Powder Coating?

Powder coating is a high-quality finish found on thousands of products you come in contact with each day. Powder coating protects the roughest, toughest machinery as well as the household items you depend on daily. It provides a more durable finish than liquid paints can offer, while still providing an attractive finish. Powder coated products are more resistant to diminished coating quality as a result of impact, moisture, chemicals, ultraviolet light, and other extreme weather conditions. In turn, this reduces the risk of scratches, chipping, abrasions, corrosion, fading, and other wear issues.
