Powder Coating Perspectives

RSS

Solvent-free performance creates an opening, but cost, appearance and established liquid-coating infrastructure continue to limit adoption.

From EVs to digital infrastructure, electrical applications are creating new performance demands and opportunities for powder coating technologies.

This overview examines how powder coating systems balance corrosion resistance, flexibility and weathering performance across demanding service environments.

This article examines how design of experiments can be applied to powder coating formulation and spray application to manage interacting variables and improve film build consistency.

New application methods are enabling electrostatic powder coating on plastics, MDF, composites and other nonconductive substrates.

Primer, basecoat, KSL/KSP and clearcoat choices drive adhesion, corrosion resistance and Class A finish.

Fusion-bonded epoxy powder coatings continue to serve as a durable, sustainable barrier protecting buried and subsea pipelines from corrosion.

Advancements in low-temperature-cure powder coatings explore challenges in formulation, manufacturing limitations, and innovative solutions for improved efficiency and performance.

Custom test methods, tailored to field conditions, address limitations of standardized tests, improving coating performance with practical solutions for real-world applications.
