All Things You Should Know About Powder Coating

What Is Powder Coating?

Powder coatings are solid powder synthetic resin coatings composed of solid resins, pigments, fillers and additives. Different from common solvent-based coatings and water-based coatings, its dispersion medium is not solvent and water, but air. It has the characteristics of no solvent pollution, 100% film formation and low energy consumption.

How to Use Powder Coating

√ Powder coatings are used in many industries

Then these wood products need to be preheated to a set temperature to help the powder coating adhere to the surface. A uniform surface temperature will help the efficiency of powder coating and the stability of the product coating. Next, use a spray gun to spray the charged powder coating onto the MDF surface. The main application of MDF is thermal curing powder coating or UV curing powder coating.

√ Commonly used catalysts for powder coatings

The degree of reaction of the base material in the thermosetting powder coating affects the impact strength, adhesion and flexibility of the coating.

Commonly used catalysts for powder coatings include quaternary ammonium salts, quaternary phosphonium salts, imidazoles and their derivatives, organometallic complexes, acids or amine blocked sulfonic acids, etc. Among them, the first three types of applications are more.

√ Curing temperature, time and coating effect of powder coating

Powder coating itself is only a semi-finished product, and only after spraying and curing can it really become the final product. That is to say, the use of powder coating is as important as the production of powder coating, the powder with low quality, the spraying equipment is better, the pretreatment is more meticulous, and the coating process is better…

Powder Coating Market Opportunity and Outlook

● Powder coating: The biggest opportunity in the future lies in China

According to data from Precedence Research, by 2027, the global powder coatings market is expected to exceed US$20.1 billion. The global powder coatings market size in 2019 was USD 12.02 billion, and it is estimated that the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) will be approximately 6.1% from 2020 to 2027. 

● PPG Brazil expands powder coating production

Recently, PPG Industrial Group announced that the company will invest US$2.7 million in a powder coating plant located in the Sumaré area of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and will expand and increase production. The investment will increase the powder coating capacity of the plant by approximately 40% to meet the needs of Brazil and other South American countries and regions.    

● AkzoNobel launches interpon ACE powder coatings

● PPG launches Coraflon Platinum powder coating, which has been launched on the global market

Recently, PPG launched CORAFLON Platinum powder coatings for the architectural metal material market. The patented technology achieves the perfect combination of excellent color durability and high coating efficiency.

● To add luster to the home appliance industry, how long will it take for powder coatings to achieve explosive growth

In fact, since the demand for powder coatings in the home appliance industry has long been concentrated on low- and medium-end powders, domestic powder coatings factories are the absolute main force in the current market. Some international powder coating giants have even "opted out" from home appliances in the past few years. In the field, we will switch to other industries with higher profits and greater demand for high-end powder coatings, such as automobiles and building materials.

● Antimicrobial powder coating market outlook is promising

The global antimicrobial powder coatings market size is estimated at USD 1.5 billion in 2020 and will reach USD 2.7 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 12% during the period, according to a recent study conducted by research firm Markets&Markets. The demand for antimicrobial powder coatings in the healthcare sector continues to grow due to the impact of the covid-19 epidemic, and the focus on antimicrobial powder coatings continues to rise in the coming period.
