The size of the global powder coatings market in 2017 was USD 9.33 billion and is projected to reach USD 14.70 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 5.8% over the forecast period. Major factors that are driving the market are increasing demand from end-use industries including automotive, consumer goods, architectural, general industries and furniture.
I am currently incarcerated in an Ohio prison and have a question regarding powder coating durability. I have always heard that powder coatings are one of the toughest industrial coatings and that they last forever.
Getting started, I would stick with polyester chemistry. It's the most versatile for someone getting started. It is very important to note that polyesters in the U.S. are rather different than polyesters in the EU.
Is it possible to create that liquid look with a metallic pigment in a powder coating? I've heard a lot of grumbling among powder coat companies that it's just not possible.
Fillers, just like pasta, are used to extend the formula or dish, establishing that fine balance between the performance of a coating and the overall cost of the formula.
The allnex high-reactive polyester resins give the powder coating industry the ability to formulate products for both indoor and outdoor applications with reduced curing times and/or lower curing temperatures.
With this powder coating technology, manufacturers can lower operational costs, increase end-product value and provide a mechanism for meaningful differentiation.
These post-addable additives can be effectively utilized as post-addible solutions to alter smooth or glossy stocked powder coatings into matted or textured finishes while circumventing the high research and development, and production costs normally associated with small, quick turnaround orders and reducing manufacturing complexities.
Powder formulators enhance the performance of a coating formulation with the addition of a judicious amount of flow modifier and degassing agent. But be careful, a little goes a long way.
