Market Dynamics
Introduction
Powder coating is a type of dry finishing process used to apply a protective or decorative layer of color to a wide range of metal and non-metal surfaces. Unlike traditional liquid paint, which is applied as a wet, liquid solution and then dries, powder coating involves the application of a dry, finely ground powder. This powder is typically composed of a mixture of finely ground pigment particles and resin (often a type of thermosetting polymer).
Market Drivers
The adoption and growth of powder coatings in various industries are driven by several key factors. First and foremost, the durability and protective qualities of powder coatings make them a preferred choice for many applications. They provide excellent resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and weathering, extending the lifespan of coated products and reducing maintenance costs.
Environmental considerations are another significant driver. Powder coatings are environmentally friendly because they produce minimal volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous waste compared to traditional liquid paints.
