Short answer: Powder coating electrostatically sprays a dry polymer onto steel or aluminum and bakes it into a thick, chip-resistant colored film, compared with other finishes in our Anodizing vs Powder Coating guide and arranged via our Metal Coating Supplier page.
At a Glance
What Powder Coating Is
A charged dry powder is sprayed onto grounded parts and cured in an oven into a continuous film, with the finishing overview in our Metal Surface Treatment Guide and the aluminum route in our Aluminum Supplier page.
Powder vs Liquid Paint
Powder gives thicker, more even and chip-resistant films with reclaimable overspray, versus thinner liquid coats, with the comparison in our Anodizing vs Powder Coating guide.
| Propriété | Powder | Liquid paint |
|---|---|---|
| Film build | Thick even | Thin layers |
| Chip resist | Haut | Moyen |
| Overspray | Reclaimed | Wasted |
| Cure | Heat oven | Air or bake |
