Risk management is a real concern for every business, and powder coating is no exception. The product liability of providing a poor quality powder coatings finish could range from re-coating a few simple parts to the replacement of all products damaged by underexposure or overexposure to heat (a complete product recall). The only way to totally manage risk is to be in total control. In turn, verification of control can only be certain when measurements are taken by proper testingRead More …
Production Profiling improves sales of powder coating products
Total Quality Management (TQM) and quality driven management systems such as ISO 9000, QS-9000 and Community European (CE) marking have redefined the meaning of quality partnerships. Many powder coaters have begun profiling all of their production runs, not only to reduce their product liability risks and reduce their operating costs, but also to send quality documents along with all of their shipments.

Thermosetting powder coating are classified into five basic chemicalRead More …
Screen your powder before application
Screening of powder coating powder is very important,that will separate out contaminants, insure uniform particle size distribution,and allow the system operator to fine tune the application equipment without puffing or surging for maximum transfer efficiency and finish quality. Actual on-line test results have shown that screened powder will cover much more area than the same material unscreened. The most common reason that powders puff and surge during application is due to the lack of screening. Powders may become compressed inRead More …
