Environmental benefits to Powder Coatings.
|
|
|
|
Powder Coatings technology was developed as a response to environmental hazards associated with solvent based coatings, with the growing concerns and restrictions of future regulations. Powder Coating technology offer cost savings and environmental benefits through the advantages listed below.
|
- No VOC’s
- No Solvents, reducing the risk of fire and reducing hazardous wastes.
- Powder overspray can be contained and then recycled and re-sprayed.
- Powder application time is faster than liquid application, and the storing of spray products uses less space, as drying times are also increased.
- Applicators / sprayers are less likely to be exposed to hazardous chemicals, while powder coatings is easily washed off contact with skin.
- Advancements in powder technology has reduced bake times and temperatures resulting in lower energy consumption.
- Storage of powder requires little maintenance, thus reducing transportation fuel consumption and storage costs.
- Less waste: The manufacturing and application efficiencies results in an overall savings of waste compared to liquid paints.
