Powder Coating System vs. Other Methods
Our system creates a hard finish that is tougher than other methods.
Powder Coatings vs. Liquid Coating
The main difference between a conventional liquid paint and a powder coating system is that the powder coating does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form.
About powder coatings:
- More environment-friendly, emitting zero or near zero volatile organic compounds (VOC).
- Produce thicker coatings that won't run or sag compared to conventional liquid coatings.
- Overspray is recyclable, ensuring that 100% of the coating is used.
- Production lines yield significantly less waste when compared to conventional liquid coatings.
- Covers substantially better on fabricated sharp edges compared to a liquid coating.
- Can be applied to any shape or form.
- Powder coated items have fewer differences in appearance between horizontally and vertically coated surfaces compared to liquid coated items.
- A large array of specialty effects, textures, colors and designs are accomplished through powder coating with ease, including effects that would otherwise be near impossible to accomplish through conventional liquid coating.
Powder Coating vs. Lamination
As a laminate alternative, decorative powder coating offers a plethora of designs and uses, while offering lower costs, higher efficiency and quality end products. With our exclusive coating powder machine, your imagination is your only limit. In comparison, standard lamination is extremely limited in its use and end product finish. Here are some more advantages of powder coatings compared to lamination:
- Approximately 30-40% lower in price.
- System production lines produce less waste compared to the lamination process..
- Whereas lamination is only for interior purposes, powder coating has no limit in regard to its use being interior or exterior.
- Unlike laminated products that chip/peel easily, powder coated surfaces are thoroughly covered. Furthermore, powder coatings are scratch resistant and can sustain exposure to harsh chemicals.
- Extremely durable and resistant to humidity and UV rays. While lamination cannot sustain humidity (i.e. furniture), powder coating can be applied to exterior furniture, awnings, etc.
- Unlike lamination that always has corner seams, powder coating is seamless - even around sharp corners.
- Offer an unlimited range of colors, textures and specialty effects, otherwise impossible to achieve with lamination.
Powder Coat System vs. Hydrographic Water Dipping
Hydrographic Water Transfer Printing is a surface decoration technology that uses a specialized film printed with designs to decorate various components and materials through the medium of water.
A primary difference compared to hydrographic water dipping is that the hydrographic method may be 5 to 10 times more expensive than your average powder coating cost. Our powder coat system is UV resistant and water/humidity proof, and will not delaminate.
