Prism Powder Coatings E-Series Epoxy powders are designed for a range of both decorative and functional use. Our thermoset epoxy powders have outstanding chemical, mechanical and corrosion protection properties. They offer a combination of both hardness and flexibility, and can be manufactured in a wide range of colours.

E-Series Epoxy powders perform well over cold rolled steel, castings, hot rolled steel and aluminum substrates suitably pretreated. They may be applied by corona or tribo charged electrostatic powder guns. Variations may also be applied by fluidized bed.

It is possible to achieve film builds of 1 - 1.5 mils, but 2 - 3 mils is the norm. Film build of up to 6 mils may be applied to cold substrate with higher builds on preheated metal.

As always, we recommend you consult your Prism Powder Coatings representative and perform your own physical testing to determine the suitability of a product for your requirements.

See the health, safety and storage guide for further information.

Typical Uses for Epoxy: Some applications Suitable for E-Series Epoxy powders wire goods vending machines underhood automotive parts racking and shelving air diffusers electric and electronic cabinetry primers (conventional and zinc rich)

Limitations of Epoxy: E-Series Epoxy powders, as with any epoxy, should not be used on any products requiring ultra violet light exposure. Epoxies also have poor overbake colour stability.
