The benefits of this single-step, high-performance, environmentally friendly coating process have been previously documented.1 Unfortunately, powder on MDF is a relatively new technology and the pitfalls are simply not as well known as powder on metal or laminating. Some who try on their own may see poor results immediately, while others may see aesthetically good looking parts that fail in performance testing.
Success usually resides in selecting the optimum combination of the right medium density fiberboard (MDF), the right powder coating and the right process. All three are critical to the production of high quality powder coated MDF parts. If that sounds familiar, it's because anyone who has been around finishing knows that it is the formula for any successful painting job.
