Powder Coating Technology

Powder coating Powder coating – a painting process in which colored dry powder paint is used. The dry powder is provided a negative electrostatic charge (from 10,000 to 90,000 volts). Sometimes referred to as powder painting and dry painting. After the object is covered with paint – it goes into the oven where the paint [...]
