The versatility in powder coating effects and textures has come about over the past 10 years, changing the look of an appliance from simply a necessary piece of equipment to a focal point that makes a statement. Where liquid coatings once reigned because they could be applied without the heat temperatures necessary for curing powder coatings, thermosetting powders with lower temperature curing methods have helped powder coating expand to substrates beyond metal, including plastics and wood-based products. The result is a protective coating that is functional and decorative.
Originally created for subway and signage applications, this powder coating is finding its way into the home because of the cleanability and color potential.
