What's a Powder Coater?

Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint which is delivered via an evaporating solvent, powder coating is typically applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light.

What does a powder coater do?

The powder-coat process entails the application of electrostatically charged particles onto the surface of the substrate. In a typical powder-coating system, a feeder unit delivers the powder to an electrostatic gun. The feeder unit also controls the flow of powder to the gun.

What is powder coating and how does it work?

Powder coating works by applying dry colour powder to a metal surface, before 'baking' the colour onto the surface using heat to form a hard finish. The colour powder is applied electrostatically using a power gun. This means that it is sprayed on using compressed air, passing over an electrode in the gun.
