FABRICATION

Electrostatic Powder Coating is the coating of a substrate with a finely ground powdered plastic resin. The powder is carried by compressed air from the powder hopper to the spray gun. The powder is electrically charged at the tip of the gun. When this charged powder is directed at an electrically grounded substrate it adheres to the surface of the part. The coated part is then transferred to an oven where it undergoes a cure cycle.

One of the main advantages of Powder coating is the reduction of V.O.C and other pollution emissions when compared to "wet" paint application.
