Powder coatings are favored over liquid coatings owing to advantages like uniform coating thickness, enhanced aesthetic finish, and high resistance to heat and impact. Their lack of solvents leads to minimal volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, reducing health and fire risks. Furthermore, excess powder is often reclaimed and recycled, contributing to minimal waste. Advances in resin formulas that allow curing at lower temperatures are helping reduce energy use. Additionally, formulations for high-temperature and harsh environment applications (such as exhaust components, grills, and coastal constructions) are opening up new application areas. Continuous improvements in equipment and application methods are also reducing wastage and improving overall powder utilization.
