Environmentally friendly and economically sound, powder coatings are the preferred choice of the finish industry.

Durable

Powder coatings can resist cracking, peeling or marring, which can minimize shipping and handling damage. The finish reduces porosity – resulting in fewer surface imperfections. Extremely abrasion, corrosion, and chemical resistant, powder coatings provide a finish superior to most other organic coatings.

Cost Effective

The use of powder coatings reduces equipment, energy, labor and waste disposal costs compared to conventional liquid systems. Powder is supplied in a ready-to-use condition – no mixing or viscosity control is necessary. A wide variety of coating chemistries can be applied with the same equipment, desired film thickness can be achieved in a single pass for most applications, and the process results in fewer rejected parts.

Environmentally Compliant

Powder coatings, consisting of 100% solids, are organic compounds that meet EPA standards. The need for costly air pollution control equipment is eliminated since no solvents are released into the atmosphere. Waste is negligible – power over-spray can be reclaimed for subsequent use. Unlike traditional coating methods, no primers are required with most powder coating processes. In addition, cleanup is performed without the use of solvents and health & safety concerns are minimized due to a clean work environment.

Versatile

Powder coatings offer excellent uniformity – eliminating sags, drip marks and other surface irregularities. Textured finishes – such as Morton’s patented wrinkle finish – not only are aesthetically pleasing, but also help conceal metal surface imperfections. Other visual effects are available in various colors and gloss levels. Powder coated parts can be machined and most can be re-coated.
