Powder Coating
Cantech Engineers Private Limited does powder coating on metal parts and sheet metal
enclosures and panels to the exact requirements of our customers.
Powder coating is dry coating, which is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. The
main difference between a conventional liquid paint and a powder coating is that
the powder coating does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts
in a liquid suspension form. The coating is typically applied electrostatically
and is then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a "skin." The powder may
be a thermoplastic or a thermoset polymer. It is usually used to create a hard finish
that is tougher than conventional paint. Powder coating is used for coating of metals,
sheet metal enclosures, parts and components, aluminium extrusions, and automobile
and motorcycle parts.
There are several advantages of powder coating over conventional liquid coatings:
1. Powder coatings emit zero or near zero volatile organic compounds (VOC).
2. Powder coatings can produce much thicker coatings than conventional liquid coatings
without running or sagging.
3. Powder coating overspray can be recycled and thus it is possible to achieve nearly
100% use of the coating.
4. Powder coating production lines produce less hazardous waste than conventional
liquid coatings.
5. Capital equipment and operating costs for a powder line are generally less than
for conventional liquid lines.
6. Powder coated items generally have fewer appearance differences between horizontally
coated surfaces and vertically coated surfaces than liquid coated items.
7. A wide range of specialty effects is easily accomplished which would be impossible
to achieve with other coating processes.
Powder coating gives High Gloss Finnish to the metal enclosures, parts and other
assemblies and Cantech Engineers Private Limited we have long expertise in Powder
Coating.
