Powder Coatings
Representing over a quarter of the original
equipment manufacturer (OEM) industry
market, powder coatings are a pigmented
coating system that use little to no solvents
and are cured to create a high quality, durable
finish. Because powder coatings do not use
solvents, therefore emitting no volatile organic
compounds (VOC) into the atmosphere,
coupled with their known durability, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lists
powder coatings as a sustainable coating
option. Powder coatings are extremely
versatile and can be applied to a variety of
products and substrates including metals,
plastics, and medium density fiberboards.
