| WHY POWDER COATING
IS FASTLY REPLACING CONVENTIONAL SPRAY PAINTING?
It is clear that with the present attitude, environment friendly
system Powder Coating will only develop further and get an increasing
part of the market. Looking at the advantages of Powder Coating
system various organic solvent systems. The following advantages
in favour of Powder Coating can be mentioned. 
POWDER IS READY FOR USE : Powder is paint but it
is dry instead of wet. This eliminates
the need of pre-mixing, stirring or thinning. It also does
not require any viscosity adjustments and hence there is no
fuss. The powder can be used straight from the back.
NO POLLUTION : Powder Coating, being
100% solvent-free eliminate atmospheric pollution. It ensures
hygiene in the paint shop and eliminates effluent disposal
problems.
GREATER SAFETY : Fire is the biggest
hazard in all conventional paint shops. Again powder being
solvent-free, have no risk of fire.
ENERGY SAVING : A substantial reduction
of energy losses is achieved by using powder instead of solvent
base systems. In conventional systems, solvent rich air has
to be vented whereas in Powder Coating booths, air is filtered
and recycled. This results saving in healthy systems and also
savings during baking time, since the same of powder is much
shorter than in the case of liquid systems, which consists
of a primer coat, an undercoat and two final coats.
