Environmental friendliness is one of the main benefits of powder coating. While conventional coating methods use volatile solvents to provide coverage and flow, powder coating processes are dry and solvent-free. This means that minimal toxic compounds are released. No powder escapes into the atmosphere during coating procedures.
Environmental Benefits of Powder Coating
- Powder coating isn’t associated with any air or water-related problems. There is a much higher risk of sagging, running or contamination during liquid coating processes.
- Far less waste is created than during conventional coating methods. Any powder that doesn’t adhere to the product falls into a collection hopper, from which it is sieved and re-used to minimise waste. The minimal cured waste powder that is left over is not hazardous and can be land-filled.
- Powder coating reduces air pollution. Meanwhile, conventional coating uses volatile solvents to provide coverage and flow.
- Unlike liquid coating methods, no energy is required to evaporate the solvent.
